10:59pm Another enthralling game of cricket, and even though the Mumbai Indians seemed out of it when the final over began, they found a lease of life through Sajana. She smashed successive sixes and for a moment, the impossible was on the cards. But then, Perry did what Perry does, and she came up clutch, despite not having her greatest day with the ball.

Before that final-over drama, RCB, led by their spinners Rana and Wareham, had squeezed MI into submission. The hosts never mustered enough sustained momentum to have a pop at the target, with Sciver-Brunt's knock and Sajana's cameo towards the end the only real worries for RCB. MI now have to do it the hard way, but they will take heart from the fact that they have done this once before, while also knowing that the team that has finished top of the table in the league phase has never ever won the WPL.

22:59 Local Time, 17:29 GMT, 22:59 IST: Smiles in the RCB camp. They started the season so well with two wins but then lost 5 on the bounce to crash out of the playoffs race so tonight's win will bring a cheer to their camp. Celebrations for sure in the Delhi camp as RCB have helped them to reach the final directly. A chase of 200 was always going to be tough despite a superb batting wicket. The openers did not make much but Sciver-Brunt looked to be in sublime form and till she was there Mumbai always had a chance. But Perry came up with her wicket and RCB closed it out at the end despite some last over entertainment from Sajana. Sneh Rana bowled superbly and she was the one who got the openers. There was worry when she landed badly on her right shoulder but she came back and completed her quota of overs. Perry was required to bowl her full quota and she chipped in so well. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff.

Harmanpreet Kaur | MIW captain: This ground is only about saving the boundaries. The last two overs we gave 40 and that cost us, apart from that we did well in the game. We saw in the last game 180 was chaseable. The way Sajana was batting we had hope she will win the game for us but good to see that other batters also contributed. Outfield is fast and we have to stop boundaries, but some really good plans while we were bowling. (on her wrist) I'm fine. I will be fine. (on Kerr opening) We still have one more day for the next game and we all will sit and think about that. (on the Eliminator) We need to stay calm and stay in the moment. Cricket is a game about winning small moments. We have a great record against them but they are playing well. (on Amanjot) She is someone who is working in three departments. Really happy with the way she is performing and she is a key player for us
