However, she hardly found a partner and Delhi Capitals were without three top-order batters including Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp, and Alice Capsey in seven overs. Jemimah showed up albeit and it seemed like Delhi Capitals found their way back to the game. But Saika Ishaque struck in 13th over and scalped both of the batters to finally add three wickets to her name. Hayley Matthews was the next bowler who picked up another couple of wickets in the same over. Issy Wong then added two more to her tally to make it three and eventually, Delhi Capitals were all-out for 105. Delhi Capitals, in no time, were down to 105/10 from 31/3 thanks to the trio of Wong-Ishaque-Matthews.

They still managed to take two wickets as Tara Norris and Alice dismissed Yastika Bhatis and Hayley Matthews. Bhatia missed her half-century by just nine runs whereas Matthews scored 32. Nat Sciver-Brunt remained unbeaten on 23.
