... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...
Jess Jonassen credited her successful innings to the left-hand-right-hand combination with Shafali Verma, which disrupted the Bengaluru's bowlers' rhythm. Jonassen praised Verma's exceptional ball-striking and strategic play, and acknowledged the team's growing momentum. She also commended debutant Charani's impressive control.
Smriti Mandhana, the skipper of Bengaluru, acknowledges Perry's excellent batting. She praised Raghvi Bist's promotion and Renuka Singh's Powerplay performances. She appreciated fan support, apologized for not securing wins, and vowed to return stronger after their week-long break.
Earlier in the game, Bengaluru posted 147/5 in 20 overs against Delhi. They were off to a rocky start as they lost their skipper early on but gained momentum after that. Ellyse Perry's unbeaten 60 and Raghvi Bist's 33 propelled Bengaluru, despite Delhi's bowlers restricting the scoring rate. Shikha Pandey, N Charani, and Marizanne Kapp shared the wickets for Delhi.
Jess Jonassen, in particular, continues to thrive in her new role at the top order, registering her second half-century. Her impressive form has been a significant factor in Delhi's success. Bengaluru's bowlers, on the other hand, were left reeling, with Renuka Singh Thakur being the only one to claim a wicket, that of Meg Lanning. They failed to contain Delhi's batting onslaught which ultimately led to their demise.
DELHI MAKE IT TO THE NEXT ROUND! They're one step closer to the title! A dominant batting display from the Delhi batters as they effortlessly chased down a target of 148 runs! Despite losing skipper Meg Lanning early, Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen took charge, unleashing a barrage of runs against the Bengaluru bowlers. The duo's relentless pressure never allowed the opposition to settle, with both players notching half-centuries to take their team to a convincing victory.
