That’s it from this game and from this leg! Fun fact - teams chasing have won all the matches. The action now shifts to Bengaluru. It is Mumbai taking on the hosts. The clash of the season! That game will be played on the 21st of this month at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Till then, cheers!
Annabel Sutherland is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. She says it's nice to get a win. Tells she just tried to read the conditions and use the longer boundaries to get the wickets. Feels Meg Lanning played well and so did Kapp, she just played her natural game. Admits she likes to see what is working for her early on, sometimes it's her day sometimes not.
Meg Lanning says they love close finishes but are happy to get it over the line. Tells she was confident from the first ball, it was nice to build some partnership for the teams. Mentions they have world class players in Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp and they trust them. Reckons their bowlers pulled back things brilliantly and feels it was an excellent effort from them.
...Presentation...
Deepti Sharma says they batted well inside the Powerplay but it went here and there after that, as they lost a couple of wickets. Mentions they trusted as a bowling unit to pull things back but they were not good enough in the fielding department. Feels they have played well in both their matches but it's the key moments where they have lost. Admits they just want to play positive and good cricket.
Annabel Sutherland however, made Delhi pay big time. She batted brilliantly and Kapp too played a fine cameo to get their side over the line. It is UP’s fielding what let them down. Had they done that better, the result could have been different. Not what you seen in this level but UP dropped really easy catches and have let them down massively.
A fine, fine chase by Delhi. Those dropped catches have really closed UP big time. They came back well into the game after the Delhi openers got them off to a flier. The likes of Deepti Sharma, Grace Harris and Sophie Ecclestone bowled brilliantly. They surely would have felt on top when they got Meg Lanning and would have been in a better position had they taken the catch of Sutherland who was on 22 and Kapp who was fresh in her innings.

Tahlia McGrath to Marizanne Kapp ,CHANCE! Below par fielding here. This time from Tahlia McGrath! Length and on middle, Kapp punches it to mid on. Sutherland runs across but Kapp was late to respond, she almost gives up as the ball is thrown to Tahlia McGrath but the bowler fails to pick it up cleanly. Easy run out chance. One. DELHI WIN BY 7 WICKETS.
