5:48 PM IST Delhi would be disappointed. They would have loved to end the group stage on a high! That was certain at one point! At the halfway mark, after the incredible innings from Meg Lanning and her partnership with her partner in crime, Shafali Verma, helped Delhi to end the innings with a score which looked a bit over par at that stage. Delhi looked confident to defend it out however, the dew played its part. The Delhi bowlers struggled to grip the ball, regularly bowling freebies and failing to maintain pressure. The likes of Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland went for plenty. Jess Jonassen took two wickets in two balls but she too ended on the expensive side.

5:47 PM IST Gujarat needed a good start and dearly needed Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol to put on a show. The duo were watchful at the start, having a tidy Powerplay but once they got comfortable in the middle, both added 84 off 56 balls to turn the tides in Gujarat's favour. Mooney fell six short of her fifty but passed the baton to Ash Gardner and Dottin who played a valuable cameo to keep the intent going and keep chasing the game. While wickets were falling at one end, Harleen Deol put down the anchor to play a mature unbeaten inning to get her team over the line.

5:46 PM IST Massive two points for Gujarat as they move to second on the table. That was some chase from Harleen Deol. Well, we thought Delhi had enough on the board and looking at their bowling department, we felt they should defend it out but Gujarat's main batters, the big names stepped up when it mattered the most.

5:45 PM IST That is all from this game. One final game coming up from Lucknow before we head to Mumbai for the last leg. On the 8th of this month, UP will take on Bengaluru. That should be a cracker of a game. Join us at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and earlier for the build up. Cheers!
