WPL 2026, MI vs DC: Mumbai Indians win by 50 runs

Mumbai Indians win by 50 runs. Despite Chinelle Henry's knock, Delhi Capitals were easily outplayed. 

A fighting knock by Chinelle Henry. While her teammates have struggled to stay in, she has smashed the ball. But moments after getting to the milestone, she has holed out. 

Nat Sciver-Brunt has her second scalp. Sneh Rana mistimes the ball and Nicola Carey makes no mistake this time, she had dropped Henry in the previous over.

Another one bites the dust. MI are just 4 wickets from victory. Amelia Kerr gets her first wicket of the day.

Chinelle Henry has scored 18 runs from 10 balls, giving Delhi Capitals a little bit of hope. But at the half-way markway, Mumbai Indians are on tap.

Marizanne Kapp departs as well. After hitting 2 boundaries in the 7th over, she holes out. It's all coming to an end too early for Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals have lost another wicket. Captain Jemimah Rodrigues is back in the hut after G Kamalini takes a one-handed stunner behind the wickets. Mumbai Indians are cock-a-hoop.

That is an INCREDIBLE take! 😲

Delhi Capitals lose their 2 wickets in the 5th over. Nicola Carey rattles the stumps of Shafali Verma and Laura Wolvaardt. Shafali never got going and departs after scoring 8 (13). While Laura looked in fine form but was outdone by a great ball that seamed in.

Delhi Capitals have scored just 15 runs in 3.1 overs and lost Lizelle Lee as well. Mumbai Indians are on top at Nat Scriver-Brunt strikes.

The 196-run chase begins for Delhi Capitals. The South African opener will face the first ball with Shafali Varma on the non-striker end. Shabnim Ismail has the new ball in hand.

19 runs come from the last over of the innings and Harmanpreet Kaur finishes with 74 fro 42 deliveries only.

MI batters Harman and Carey are doing everything to take their team to 180. And Harman gets a 50. She lofts it for a big six.

MI has done a good recovery after a few bad over initially. Now, Harman will have to stay till the very end. Maybe they should look at 180.

Charani has removed the danger batter Nat Sciver for 70. She tries to drive through covers, but is caught by Jemi.

The English all-rounder has changed the match alone. She is hitting boundaries left, right and centre.

After a failure yesterday, Nat Sciver has made amends and scored a 50 in only 32 deliveries. She needs to stay till the very end now.

Shree Charani has got the big fish. Nat Sciver goes for a sweeps, misses. But then a small brush with the glove saves the batter.

Sneh Rana comes into the attack now, and the run-rate remains in check; DC need another wicket now.

Jemi introduces youngster Nandini into the attack, She is hit for two fours. But on the very next ball, she picks her maide wicket. Excellent catch by Lee behind the wickets.

Kamalini seems to be struggling a bit against Kapp, who is getting the ball swing into the batter. A poor over for MI.

The three-year journey for Jemi

Kapp has been coming up with a few dot balls here. Six runs come from the over.

Chinelle Henry has a wicket on the first ball itself. Kerr pokes at a ball outside off, edges, and Lizelle Lee completes an exceptional catch.

The match starts now. The two openers are G Kamalini and Amelia Kerr. And Kapp to start bowling. Just two runs come from the over.

Just shifting the focus from this match a bit, GG have beaten UPW by only 10 run. UP were chasing a massive 208.

Let us see if MI would have a change in their squad; since they played a match only yesterday. Recovery can always be tricky.

Now, we are just a few minutes away from the toss of the 3rd match. It should be a bat first pitch once again.

Hello and welcome to match 3 of WPL 2026, where MI will take on DC in Navi Mumbai. Harmapreet's team lost their opening match yesterday, but there is all to play for today.
