Jess Jonassen, the Player of the Match, credited the team's quick bowlers for setting the tone in the Powerplay, allowing her to apply pressure in the middle overs. She expressed satisfaction with her own performance, particularly with holding onto a caught-and-bowled opportunity, an area where she had previously struggled. Jonassen praised the entire bowling unit for their collective effort and singled out Minnu Mani as an exceptionally talented bowler. She revealed that she had advised Mani to bowl a fraction fuller, and was impressed with Mani's incredible comeback. Jonassen also commended the batting duo of Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma for navigating the Powerplay successfully, and later, the pairing of Lanning and Jemimah Rodrigues for finishing off the innings. With her job done, Jonassen was happy to relax and put her feet up for the rest of the evening.

Delhi skipper Meg Lanning shared her thoughts on the team's dominant win, stating that their primary objective was to establish a solid partnership at the top and take the momentum out of the contest. Lanning expressed her desire to replicate this performance in their next outing, aiming to build on the team's current form. She praised Minnu Mani's exceptional bowling, noting that Mani's ability to consistently hit the right areas earned her well-deserved wickets. Lanning also commended Annabel Sutherland's impressive athleticism, highlighting a stunning catch taken by the player, which showcased her remarkable skills on the field.

Mumbai skipper Harmanpreet Kaur conceded that nothing went according to plan for her team. She acknowledged that they faltered in all departments of the game, struggling to make the most of the powerplay and ultimately posting a below-par total. Kaur admitted that Mumbai's batting effort was well short of expectations, and they were unable to capitalize on the initial overs. Despite the disappointing loss, Kaur emphasized that her team is still in a good position in the tournament. She plans to advise her teammates to put this game behind them and treat it as a one-off setback.

Stay tuned for the presentation ...

Delhi's Jemimah Rodrigues shared her thoughts on the team's convincing win, stating that this victory was much needed as the team hadn't been living up to their potential. She believes that this win will provide a significant confidence boost to the team. Jemimah highlighted the importance of small efforts in the field, which helped keep the team motivated and ultimately contributed to a positive outcome. She also praised the opening duo of Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma, noting that their solid understanding of each other's game helps maintain a balance at the top of the order, setting a strong foundation for the team.

Mumbai's batting woes proved costly in this contest. Despite several players, including Yastika Bhatia, Hayley Matthews, Natalie Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Amelia Kerr, getting starts, none could capitalize and post a substantial score. The team's inability to convert starts into bigger innings ultimately led to a below-par total. Amanjot's timely cameo provided some solace, but it wasn't enough. The Delhi bowlers, meanwhile, were on point, with Jess Jonassen and Minnu Mani picking up three wickets each. Shikha Pandey and Annabel Sutherland chipped in with one wicket apiece, helping restrict Mumbai to a modest total.

Mumbai's bowling unit was unable to conjure up any magic, succumbing to a dominant batting display by Delhi's top order. Amanjot Kaur was the only bowler to claim a wicket, but it was a lone consolation in an otherwise one-sided contest. Delhi's batting unit, led by Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma, were unstoppable, making short work of Mumbai's total.

Delhi delivered a crushing blow to Mumbai, securing a convincing 9-wicket victory. Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma made light work of Mumbai's below-par total, initially taking their time to settle in before unleashing a barrage of shots to decimate the Mumbai bowling unit. Their dominant partnership sealed the deal for Delhi, handing Mumbai a resounding defeat. Meg Lanning managed to score a half-century while Shafali Verma yet again missed out on one. Jemimah Rodrigues was calm and composed and the trio was enough for Delhi to cross the finish line.
