Superb bowling performances from Issy Wong, and Saika Ishaque, followed by impressive outings from openers Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews led Mumbai Indians to a dominating eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in the seventh match of the Women’s Premier League 2023 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, here on Thursday.

“Today our bowlers did really well. They’re making my job easier. Whoever comes in is eager to bowl. When you have so many options, your job is so easy. Credit to our bowlers. Bowling according to the field is key in T20s and we’re able to do that. After the last game we all discussed that we bowled some bad balls,” said Harmanpreet at the post-match presentation.
