Opening with a relentless assault, Shafali Verma set the stage on fire, unleashing a flurry of boundaries and amassing an impressive 64 runs not out off just 43 balls, adorned with 6 fours and 4 sixes. Meg Lanning provided valuable support with a composed innings, anchoring the chase with a well-crafted 51 runs off 43 deliveries.

With a clinical run chase orchestrated by their formidable top order, Delhi Capitals Women cruised to victory in the 15th over, sealing the win by 9 wickets.
