Chasing a target of 196, Delhi Capitals never looked in the game at any point as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Three of the batters scored in single digits, four were dismissed in double digits and only Chinelle Henry provided some resistance with her brilliant batting under crunch situation.

Although wickets kept falling from the other end Henry scored a half-century. She scored 56 runs from 33 deliveries but her defiance was not good enough to help DC win the match.
