An unbeaten 65 by all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s 41 guided Mumbai Inddigihunt to a total of 154/5 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in the 13th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium on Tuesday.
Strong Finish by Sciver-Brunt
Sciver-Brunt played a pivotal role in transforming Mumbai Inddigihunt Women’s shaky start into 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 momentum when she hit a six on the last ball, pushing MI past 150 and applying pressure on Delhi.
Delhi’s Early Control
Delhi took charge early in the game. Marizanne Kapp and Nandani Sharma dominated the Power-play, dismissing Sajana for 9 and Hayley Matthews for 12, leaving Mumbai at 23/2 in just six overs. Kapp’s figures—only 8 runs conceded in four overs—highlighted her effectiveness, as her tight bowling restricted easy runs, forcing MI to focus on survival. They reached 47/2 at the first timeout, with Sciver-Brunt on 8 and Harmanpreet Kaur at 18, still aiming to rebuild.
Key Partnerships
The turning point arrived as Sciver-Brunt found her rhythm, with the third-wicket partnership gaining momentum. They added 50 runs in 45 balls, with Mumbai reaching 50 in 9.4 overs and 100 in 13.6 overs. Sciver-Brunt achieved her half-century off 34 balls, gaining confidence. However, just as they appeared dominant, Harmanpreet fell for 41, caught off N. Sree Charani, breaking their crucial 78-run partnership.
Exciting Final Overs
The final overs were filled with excitement. At the second timeout, MI was at 119/3 in 16 overs, but Charani made crucial strikes in the 18th over, dismissing Nicola Carey for 12 and Amanjot Kaur for 3, the latter following a successful DRS review. Nonetheless, Sciver-Brunt remained steady, finishing with 65 off 45, while Sanskriti Gupta contributed a brisk 10 off 5, hitting some late boundaries. MI scored 42 runs in the last five overs, with the last-ball six securing a strong finish at 154/5 after a rocky start.
Bowling Highlights
Shree Charani was the standout bowler for DC, claiming 3 wickets for 33 runs, while Kapp completed her spell with 1 for 8.
