Nat Sciver-Brunt to Shafali Verma, 1 run, good length angling into the pads, tucked away to deep backward square leg and Shafali Verma is away too

Runs - 241 | Average - 34.42 | Strike rate - 182.57 | Best score - 84

Wong to Shafali Verma, FOUR, good shot this. Again Shafali Verma makes room outside the leg-stump and this full outswinger curves away nicely from middle-stump, but carved with an open face over the off-side field and beats Vastrakar at third man. Immediately Wong is under pressure

Now mid-on back. Square leg in.

1.1

Wong to Shafali Verma, SIX, no respect for the hat-trick heroine. Length delivery outside the leg-stump, Shafali Verma makes room and clears her front leg, smashes the loft over long-on. A statement shot

DC-- 12/0

Caught at backward point but DC have reviewed for the height on this high full-toss. Looks touch and go. Has it dip

DC Women Innings

2.1 Nat Sciver-Brunt to Lanning, FOUR runs

Lanning looks fired up! Short and wide, she cuts it hard past point and the outfield is lighting quick.

Rajappan: "While chasing first has yielded positive results in t20s, Lanning did the right thing to bat first on a final. The nerves of the final will surely haunt the team batting second."

2.2 Nat Sciver-Brunt to Lanning, FOUR runs

And now over mid-on! Length on off, she gets across and heaves it over the fielder. Top hit!
