Sciver-Brunt's 80 in vain as Delhi beat Mumbai in WPL
Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians in a final-ball thriller in the Women's Premier League despite England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt making an unbeaten 80.
Sciver-Brunt, who made 80 off 59 balls with 13 fours, shared 73 with India captain Harmanpreet Kaur (42 off 22) for the third wicket but 2023 winners Mumbai collapsed from 105-2 to be bowled out for 164 in 19.2 overs.
Delhi got off to a rapid start in reply with Shafali Verma crashing 43 off 18 balls and Meg Lanning making 15.
However both fell in the space of three balls and were soon followed by Jemimah Rodrigues and Annabel Sutherland as the two-time finalists fell to 76-4.
England's Alice Capsey added 16 in a stand of 33 with India's Under-19 World Cup-winning captain Niki Prasad (35 off 33) and Scotland's Sarah Bryce crashed 21 off 10 balls.
Delhi needed 10 from the final over and Prasad hit a boundary from the first ball but was dismissed with two needed from two balls.
However Delhi scrambled the two needed from the final ball with the third umpire deciding Arundhati Reddy made her ground to secure a two-wicket win.
Replays suggested it was extremely tight and was the third run-out decision in the Delhi chase that raised question marks.
