Delhi Capitals Women won by 7 wkts

Delhi Capitals chase this down on a canter to finish top of the league and qualify straight for the finals!! They needed just 127 to win today, and skipper Meg Lanning got a flurry of boundaries in the powerplay to get going. She however was run out shortly after, and new batter Alice Capsey fell in the same over, as Tanuja Kanwar delivered a wicket maiden. Delhi however weren't too troubled by those two wickets, as Shafali Varma and Jemimah stitched together a 94-run partnership. Varma was at his attacking best, advancing down the track and hitting it over the infield for a few boundaries. She scored a brisk fifty and kept going after as well, as Jemimah played a good second fiddle role while playing a few aggressive strokes of her own. Shafali was looking good to finish the game, but ended up holing out to mid-off attempting a glory shot to win the game. Jemimah however finished the game off in the next over with a boundary.

Shikha Pandey: We are all ecstatic. The work done by the think tank to get the balance in the side was really good. The way Minu (Manni) bowled today as a spinner was brilliant. We have great camaraderie, the bowlers keep talking to each other throughout the innings on what plans to have, and what kind of lengths are working on this wicket. The players we have are so experienced, we are learning from there. We bounce ideas off each other, and talk to each other on how to execute our plans. We are really happy when Shafali is batting that way, the bowlers inside of us however feel bad, we feel for the bowlers out there in the middle.

Beth Mooney: We were outplayed in all facets. Didn't get a great start with the bat and then let the runs come quickly when we bowled. We do have some positives to take back, some individual performances which allowed us to be competitive at times during the tournament. We probably needed a bowler and an all-rounder, we lost Kashvee Gautam, Mannat showed what she could do, some batters like Laura came up well. She is a great kid, always has a smile on her face (on Shabnam Shakil), she has a great future and I'm not sure I'd like to face her in the nets. Disappointment (on her analysis of the season), might've to look for a next captain, it's been hard on me. We have got a great coach and an excellent management, we have a few pieces and will need to string them together much better in the next season.

Meg Lanning: It wasn't as close as the earlier game, less stressful. (On Shafali) When she plays like that, she makes it look very easy. So much fun to watch her dominate like that. I think we've had good patches in all games, we know our plans and our execution is getting better. We've been excellent right from the start, despite losing that first game. T20 is always a close game, it will be a great semi-final and we'll be watching eagerly. Either of those two sides (RCB and MI), it will be a great contest, there are some great match winners in both sides.
