Jess Jonassen and Minnu Mani spearheaded Delhi Capitals' bowling attack, leading to Mumbai Indians' collapse at 123/9 in their Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Friday.

 

Put to bat first, Mumbai Indians made a great start, with the firm opening partnership of Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews laying the foundation. However, Yastika was dismissed in the last over of the powerplay, which disrupted their momentum, while Matthews was out in the very next. The side continued to struggle in its attempt to recover from setbacks at the outset.

While Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt tried to stabilize the innings and step on the accelerator, Jonassen dismissed both batters in consecutive overs, crushing any chance of Mumbai getting back on track.

In-form Sciver-Brunt continued her fine form and together with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (18) shared 38 runs for the third wicket before the latter was dismissed LBW by Jonassen in the 11th over.

Sciver-Brunt, however, gave simple return catch to Jonassen to get out in the 14th over.
Sajeevan Sajana then did not help her to team's cause, ballooning a simple catch to DC skipper Meg Lanning off the bowling of Minnu Mani at extra cover while going for an extravagant shot over the leg side.

It was raining wickets as G Kamalini too failed to come to her side's rescue after being cleaned up by Jonassen in the 18th over with MI struggling at 104 for 7 in 17.5 overs.

Towards the end, it was struggle for MI with no set batter in hand but they somehow managed to get past the 120-run mark without being bowled out.
