Who would have thought of a last-ball finish in the WPL 2024 opener between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals? Who would have thought of a last-ball six finish in the match? The answer to that may vary from person to person, but what may not vary is, that little-known Sajana S came up with a stunning effort to take Mumbai Indians home.
With 12 needed from the last over, it was 50-50 for both teams, with Harmanpreet Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar at the crease. But Alice Capsey, who scored a brilliant 75 for Delhi, removed Vastrakar on the very first ball of the last over. On the fifth ball, Harmanpreet also departed.
With Mumbai six down, and five needed off the last ball, no one would have given Sajana a chance to get those runs. But she did, as she came down the track, and hit a clean six over long-on. The ball was hit clean, as the Mumbai team just erupted in joy, while Capsey was down on her haunches.
