18.2

Nadine de Klerk to Chinelle Henry, wide, tries to bowl the slower ball and isn't in control of it. Barely on the pitch as it's way outside off. Henry shoulders arms and Richa Ghosh dives to stop it. The umpires want to check if it's a wide or no-ball. Just inside the cut-strip and that's a wide

Innings Break

Let us hope, it'll be a thrilling match!

Delhi Capitals, inserted to bat, post 203 on the board. This is the highest WPL total at Vadodara as well. Notable contributions from all the top five DC batters. They scored just 9 runs off the first 3 overs but they made up for the slow start in quick time. Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma powered their team to the joint-highest 1st innings powerplay score at Vadodara this season. After Shafali's dismissal, Lee toyed with Shreyanka's bowler as the offspinner leaked 19 runs off her first over.

Nadine de Klerk dismissed her country-mate in her first over and that brought Jemimah to the crease. The DC captain along with Wolvaardt kept the scoreboard ticking. Despite not taking too many risks, they scored at a brisk pace to add 76 runs for the third wicket. Jemimah fell after her fifty and Henry came in with four overs remaining. The Caribbean big-hitter smashed a 15-ball 35 to take DC's total over 200. Barring Lauren Bell, all the RCB bowlers were expensive.

Pace vs spin in DC innings

Pace: 3/153 in 16 overs (ER 9.56, 13 X 4s, 6 X 6s)

Spin: 0/50 in 4 overs (ER 12.50, 8 X 4s, 1 X 6s)
