5:24 PM IST Delhi lost the very first match of this campaign on the very last delivery to Mumbai and now, they have managed to defend 1 run off the final delivery. That is certainly an improvement. What a performance it was though with the ball in hand. It was Alice Capsey who drew the first blood, but then there was a phase when the bowlers just could not trouble the batters. Nevertheless, Ellyse Perry and Sophie Molineux were struggling with their communication and that eventually came to benefit Delhi as the second-wicket stand was broken through a run-out. Soon, Arundhati Reddy got rid of Sophie Molineux who was looking set. Then there was a moment when Bangalore conceded 17 runs in the 15th over which brought them back in the game. After that though, it was some great bowling showcased by Shikha Pandey, Marizanne Kapp and Jess Jonassen to make sure that it is Delhi that takes two crucial points away. Four bowlers chipped in with a wicket each to get across the line by the barest of margins.

5:23 PM IST Bangalore did a brilliant job early on with the ball in hand to restrict Delhi to just 181 on this batting paradise. Bangalore came in with the right intent, and a new gameplan. It was a new opening pair for them, which started off pretty nicely, although their skipper could not stick out there for long. Sophie Molineux though got off to a positive start. She continued to get boundaries at regular intervals, although she got this motivation after seeing the way Ellyse Perry got going at number 3. These two repaired the innings for their side, but they both fell in quick succession and allowed Delhi to come back in the game. Richa Ghosh though held her nerve really well, but she could not take them home.

5:18 PM IST OH MY GOSH! Richa Ghosh, you did everything in your power to take you side home, but from the outside prespective, this Women's Indian T20 League continues to reach new heights, but for now it is Delhi that are on the peak. Richa Ghosh seems to be in tears, but a good gesture by Jemimah Rodrigues and then Shikha Pandey who brings out a warm hug, for a fair fight. Delhi have cemented their spot in the top three.
