With the loss of four wickets, Mumbai Indians are in deep trouble now.

Mar 5, 2024, 4:08 PM

Third wicket down for Mumbai | 30/3

Kapp has dismissed the MI captain! The ball was pitched on a full length around the middle and off, but it seemed to stick in the surface slightly. Harmanpreet didn't keep her bat face straight long enough, and the ball popped up off the leading edge. Radha was stationed perfectly at backward point and took the catch with ease. This is a crucial moment in the game and could have a significant impact on the outcome.

Mar 5, 2024, 3:59 PM

Nat Sciver-Brunt goes as well | 12/2

A sizzling delivery from Shikha Pandey that began on the off stump and then curved back in like a boomerang. Sciver-Brunt was attempting to work it to leg but got completely bamboozled, playing all over it and looking lost. The ball whisked past her bat, then it crashed into the stumps with a loud noise. Sciver-Brunt was left in disbelief, unable to fathom what had just happened. She had no choice but to walk back to the pavilion.

Mar 5, 2024, 3:56 PM

Early wicket for Delhi | 12/1

Yastika is down! A quick delivery aiming at the off-stump skids through and catches her off-guard. She attempts a mighty swipe across the line, but unfortunately picks the wrong ball to do so.

"A couple of days ago, I injured my knee in training. After doing the scans, doctors said surgery is the only option for me. I will be undergoing surgery on August 17 in Mumbai," Vinesh said.

"I will be undergoing surgery on 17th August in Mumbai. It was my dream to retain my Asian Games Gold medal for India which I won in 2018 at Jakarta.

Her achievements show her talent and potential, lending weight to her pursuit of fair treatment.
