So, the revenge for Delhi Capitals is complete after last year's finale and this year's first game, they have rocked Mumbai Indians. A 29-run victory is huge in the context of the game.

DC vs MI Live Score: Delhi Finish on 192

DC: 192/4 (20) Jemimah Rodrigues, take a bow! That is an innings that she would remember for a long time. She finishes unbeaten on 69 off 33 balls. The innings took Delhi ton 192. That would have been tough at one stage looking at the scorecard but this innings changed all that. Delhi started well courtesy of Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma who stitched a 48-run stand and then, it was just the Jemi Show. Have to appreciate Pooja Vastrakar though, she bowled four overs for 20 runs and a wicket to her name. So, Mumbai Indians need 193 to win this game!

DC: 114/3 (13) Lanning got to her fifty in some style with a four against Pooja Vastrakar and then, perishes after playing into the hands of deep mid-wicket. Good catch by Amelia Kerr diving forward. Will be interesting to see how Delhi goes after this. She goes back for 53 off 38 balls.

DC: 79/2 (9.3) Delhi have lost Alice Capsey now. That is a big moment in the game. Why? Because Capsey could have dangerous. She was struggling to score runs in the last over and the frustration was apparent. That was a reverse sweep against Hayley Mathews which she played back onto her stumps.
