2nd Innings Highlights
- The Delhi Capitals have won convincingly.
- They had played Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the match, and all that remained was for their bowling to retain their composure.

- Perry kept the scorecard humming, but she was the first to go in which RCB lost 5 wickets for 7 runs, with Tara Norris the main wrecker.
- Knight and Schutt established a 50-run stand to keep the margin of loss manageable.
