**Vadodara, India** – Delhi Capitals (DC) snatched a thrilling two-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in a nail-biting Women’s Premier League (WPL) encounter at the Kotambi Stadium. The match, a rematch of the 2023 final, saw DC chase down MI’s 164 with just two runs needed off the final ball.

Mumbai Indians, missing fast-bowling all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar due to injury, posted a challenging 164 after a strong start by Harmanpreet Kaur (42 off 22). However, Nat Sciver-Brunt’s impressive 80 went largely unsupported as MI lost wickets at regular intervals, with Minnu Mani and Annabel Sutherland taking key wickets.

Delhi Capitals’ chase got off to a shaky start, losing both openers, Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning, early. However, Niki Prasad and Alice Capsey steadied the ship, before Capsey’s dismissal triggered another mini-collapse. With 30 runs needed off 18 balls, Sarah Bryce smashed a four and a six, setting the stage for a dramatic finish. Arundhati Reddy finally secured the win with a boundary in the final ball, despite a very close run out.

The high-scoring match lived up to expectations, with both teams showcasing attacking intent on a pitch deemed favorable for batting. DC captain Meg Lanning praised her team’s ability to take wickets early and their calm approach during the chase. The victory gives Delhi Capitals an early edge in the tournament.
