Mumbai Indians secured a thrilling victory against Delhi Capitals in the opening match of WPL 2024. The defending champions chased down 172 runs in the inaugural match of the 2024 season, defeating the 2023 runner-up by four wickets on the last ball.
Sajeevan Sajna displayed strong determination to lead the team to victory in an exciting and thrilling contest.
Alice Capsi needed five runs on the last ball, and after getting Harmanpreet Kaur out at 19.5, things almost came to a halt, making it a challenging task for Sajna, the new batswoman, to clear the Russians for a win.Capsi made a slight mistake in her length, as she was a bit fuller on the middle stump. Sajna charged down the track, cleared her front leg, and smashed the ball over long-on, boosting her team’s morale with enthusiasm.
She was enthusiastic, and Capsi was skeptical. Harmanpreet was also excited and rightfully so, as Mumbai has maintained its winning streak while pursuing the goal.Before this game, she had won all five matches as a batswoman, securing the second position in WPL 2023. With this victory, the reigning champion achieved a perfect record of six wins out of six while pursuing the goal.
Here is the video off the final ball:
Despite losing Hales early in the chase, Mumbai Indians always remained hopeful, and Marizanne Kapp’s wicket fell right behind the required run rate. Yastika Bhatia held one end while wickets fell rapidly in the powerplay, but captain Harmanpreet stabilized things alongside Yastika soon after the net run rate plummeted. Before getting caught in the slog at deep midwicket, the wicketkeeper-batsman contributed 56 runs. Amelia Kerr came in, scoring 24 off 18 balls, but in the 18th over, Shikha Pandey bowled her out.
In the last over, MI needed 12 runs, but Pooja Vastrakar lost her wicket on the first ball. Amanjot Kaur came in, formed a partnership, and then handed the strike to Harmanpreet.Nine runs were needed off the last three balls. The captain hit a boundary on the penultimate delivery, reducing the requirement to five runs on the final ball. At this moment, Sajna struck a six.
