Mumbai Indians cruising
Steadily but surely the duo of Kaur and Sciver-Brunt is guiding MI towards their first WPL title. DC need to get these batters out to get back into the game.

DC lose a review
A loud shot for LBW against Nat Sciver-Brunt, but the umpire denies. DC ask for a review and the DRS shows it going down the leg by a big margin. Review wasted.
An excellent over nonetheless from Kapp.
