Delhi capitals 165 for 8 (Shafali 43, Prasad 35, Kerr 2-22, Matthews 2-31) Beat Mumbai Indians 164 (SCIVER-BRUNT 80*, Harmanpreet 42, Sutherland 3-34, Pandey 2-14) by two WICKETS
Just 24 hours after 202 was easily persecuted at the Opening Night of WPL 2025, a 165 target proved to be complicated in the same launch for Delhi Capitals, who exceeded the line in the last ball against the Mumbai Indians for a wickt of two wickt win. He went down to 30, 18, 10, six, two outside the last ball and, finally, a matter of centimeters when Arundhati Reddy put an immersion to make his land that turned out to be the winning races.
The winning captain of the U19 World Cup, Niki Prasad, will remember his WPL debut for taking DC at a moving distance. In the end he maintained the persecution with his 35 of 33 and the last one began with a four when they needed 10 to win, but they hid when the equation was two out of two.
The game saw collapses in both tickets after blows of the frontline batters. Nat Sciver-Brunt led me to a total respectable with his undefeated 80 of 59 and Harmanpreet Kaur eliminated 42 of 22, but soon lost 7 by 35. Shafali Verma 43 of 18 established the guideline for the persecution to hammer 60 races for DC in DC in DC in The power game, but soon lost four wickets for 16 races that made the equation much more tense and took it to the last ball.
The three contentious exhaustion that does not
As the game was getting more and more with DC losing Wickts, there were three exhaustion decisions that went to the third Gayathri Venutero referee, and those decided the game. The first arrived on day 18 when Shikha Pandey did not receive his first ball, which turned out that DC received goodbye. No part of Pandey’s bat seemed inside the fold when the enlightened LED Wickt, but the third referee did not give it, based on a subsequent television frame in which the bond was visibly evicted.
The second arrived in the next when DC needed 16 of the eight. Radha Yadav was not given when he ended up bouncing in his bat of the ground while diving; The bat was in the air when the wickt lit up, but the referee, again, was heard when the stumps were visibly broken. Radha then broke the following ball for a six and reduced equation to 10 of the last.
The last instance was in the last ball of the game, when DC needed two of two. Reddy put an immersion while trying to complete the second race and the stumps illuminated when the bat seemed to be in the fold line, but the third referee did not come out again and caused celebrations for DC.
