Shikha Pandey and Annabel Sutherland registered one wicket, each to their names. Marizanne Kapp and Titas Sadhu went wicketless in the WPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians.
Opting to bat in the WPL 2025 against MI, DC had a decent start before losing both their openers Yastika Bhatia (11) and Hayley Matthews (22) in quick succession.
In-form Sciver-Brunt continued her fine form and together with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (18) shared 38 runs for the third wicket before the latter was dismissed LBW by Jonassen in the 11th over.
Sciver-Brunt, however, gave simple return catch to Jonassen to get out in the 14th over.
Sajeevan Sajana then did not help her team's cause, ballooning a simple catch to DC skipper Meg Lanning off the bowling of Minnu Mani at extra cover while going for an extravagant shot over the leg side.
It was raining wickets as G Kamalini too failed to come to her side's rescue after being cleaned up by Jonassen in the 18th over with MI struggling at 104 for 7 in 17.5 overs.
Towards the end, it was a struggle for MI with no set batter in hand but they somehow managed to get past the 120-run mark without being bowled out.
