Marizanne Kapp (Player of the Match): "Yes, look to be honest, the bowling group deserves this award. They did a great job. On this wicket, we want to bowl as the ball does quite a bit early on. It worked and happy with the win and team's performance. The more I play I get into rhytm and I read the wicket to do best. The catches this team is taking is amazing. The girls are putting a great effort. This is an awesome fielding side as far as I am concerned. We want to continue this going forward."
Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals Women Captain): "It was a great game, hard to fault much. We set the match nicely with the ball. Kapp gave us a head start with the ball and the way we chased was brilliant. Everyone came with the ball and did the job for us. She (Kapp) is very talented. She is always eager to play and perform. It was the bowlers who did the job for us tonight. To restrict Mumbai Indians to just above 100 was really great. I was happy with the blue (after getting the orange cap). I don't think much about these things. A quick turnaround for us and we will look to repeat what we did tonight."
Meg Lanning gets Orange Cap.
Powerful Striker of the Match: Alice Capsey
10:04 PM IST | Time for the presentations.
Alice Capsey (Delhi Capitals Women): "Delighted to get the win. We bowled well to restrict them to that score. And then it was not doing much. We did well and we wanted to play this kind of brand. We showed our class. This is what we wanted to play and glad to get to the top of the table. We both are different and Shafali Verma strikes the ball well and I just stick to my strengths.
Important game tomorrow. We play UP and we want to win. This game will give us confidence going forward and hope to win the game and finish top."

Harmanpreet Kaur (Mumbai Indians Women Captain): "We were 45 runs short. We wanted breakthroughs. But they batted well. We bowled badly , too many short balls and they batted well and took advantage of it. Credit to them We have to do well tomorrow. This is a wake up call and hope to come back stronger tomorrow. Sometimes these things are needed. I am happy that we will not be overconfident going into tomorrow and the coming games."
Delhi Capitals Women won the toss earlier in the evening and opted to field. The decision was proved right by their seamers, who decimated the Mumbai batting line-up and didn’t allow any of the batters to stick around.

The partnership between Harmanpreet and Pooja of 37 runs for the 5th wicket was the highest of the innings.
For DC, Marizanne Kapp (4-0-13-2), Jess Jonassen (4-0-25-2) and Shikha Pandey (4-0-21-2) picked two wickets while Arundhati Reddy scalped a wicket.
