"Missed out on a 100"

"It is a good batting wicket. Sadly missed out on a century. It was good batting with Meg Lanning, she was guiding me well. Our plan was to target a few bowlers and we managed to execute it well. Happy with the total," says Shafali Verma.

END OF INNINGS!

Kapp finds a boundary off the final delivery and Delhi Capitals post a mammoth 223 on the board.

DC: 223/2 (20)

Kapp tears into Knight

Two sixes in an over off Knight from Marizanne Kapp and the Delhi Capitals are now suddenly eyeing a 225 finish. Can they get there though?

DC: 211/2 (19)

DC: 194/2

Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp have got their eyes in and are now looking for the final flourish.

DC: 195/2 (18)

SHAFALI, OUT!

Heather Knight is turning it around for RCB, and she is doing it all alone. Second wicket in the over as Shafali comes down the track and looks for a booming slog but only manages to edge it behind to Richa Ghosh, who grabs a good catch.

Shafali walks back for 84 off 45.

DC: 163/2 (14.5)
