WPL 2026: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians – Live
An unbeaten 65 by all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt and a notable 41 from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur guided the Mumbai Indians to 154/5 in 20 overs against the Delhi Capitals in the 13th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium
in Vadodara on Tuesday.
Nat Sciver-Brunt ensured the Mumbai Indians Women turned a shaky start into a strong finish, recovering to post a competitive total. Under pressure during the Power-play, Mumbai found stability with Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 65 off 45 balls. Her innings transitioned from cautious to aggressive, shifting the momentum with a six on the last ball to push MI past 150 and increase the pressure on Delhi.
Delhi initially took control as Marizanne Kapp and Nandani Sharma dominated the Power-play, dismissing Sajana (9) and Hayley Matthews (12), reducing Mumbai to 23/2 in six overs.
Kapp’s overall figures of 8 runs conceded in four overs highlighted her skills, with her tight line and lack of easy runs defining that phase. MI had to focus on survival, reaching 47/2 in nine overs at the first timeout, with Sciver-Brunt on 8 and Harmanpreet Kaur on 18. They were still rebuilding and looking for momentum.
The change came just in time. Sciver-Brunt found her rhythm, and the third-wicket partnership began to pick up speed. They added 50 runs in 45 balls, steadily progressing as Mumbai reached 50 in 9.4 overs and 100 in 13.6 overs. Sciver-Brunt brought up her half-century off 34 balls, batting with growing confidence. Just when the partnership seemed set to dominate, Harmanpreet fell for 41, caught off N. Sree Charani, breaking a crucial 78-run partnership.
The final overs brought excitement and energy. At the second timeout, MI was at 119/3 in 16 overs, but Charani struck twice in the 18th over, dismissing Nicola Carey (12) and Amanjot Kaur (3), the latter after a successful DRS review. Nevertheless, Sciver-Brunt remained steady, finishing with 65 off 45, while Sanskriti Gupta contributed a brisk 10 off 5, adding some late boundaries. Mumbai scored 42 runs in the last five overs, with the final-ball six securing a strong finish at 154/5 after a shaky start.
Shree Charani was the standout bowler for DC, finishing with 3 for 33 as Kapp concluded with 1 for 8.
