7:20 PM: 'We don't depend too much on the toss', says  Harmanpreet Kaur

We don't really depend too much on the toss, but today we wanted to chase. We've done well in the last 2 games, the same XI for us. She's (Lanning) a very good player and leader, sharing the dressing room in India is a learning experience for everyone. The MI family made my day special, we just want to continue the way we started.

7:30 PM: Match begins!

Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning walk in to bat. Nat-Sciver Brunt opens bowling charts for Mumbai. 

7:35 PM: 5/0 after 1 over

8:13 PM: 72/3 after 11 overs

Jemimah Rodrigues and Meg Lanning have stitched a 20-run stand so far but they need to go deep into the innings. DC need a move on with some fours and sixes. 

8:17 PM: 81/4 in 12.2 overs

Out! Losing wickets at regular intervals has not helped Capitals one bit tonight. Rodrigues out, Jonassen in. 

8:23 PM: 84/6 in 13.1 overs
