So that ends the league phase of this season's WPL. Delhi Capitals qualify straight to the finals thanks to a blistering knock from Shafali Verma that ended things early tonight. The Capitals will now be eagerly following the knockout game between Mumbai Indians and RCB this Friday, and so will we!! Join us for that game, bye for now...
Shafali Varma | Player of the Match: I have always thought of trying to play straight, today also that was the plan. Whenever the bowlers bowled well, I respected those deliveries. If anything was in my range, I would go for it. I backed my strengths and it worked today. Was in good touch today, wanted to stay till the end. Disappointed I couldn't end the innings today. I always try to do my best in fielding as well, stop as many runs as possible. That's been a crucial part of our management, to focus on our fielding and restrict teams to as few runs as possible.
Meg Lanning: It wasn't as close as the earlier game, less stressful. (On Shafali) When she plays like that, she makes it look very easy. So much fun to watch her dominate like that. I think we've had good patches in all games, we know our plans and our execution is getting better. We've been excellent right from the start, despite losing that first game. T20 is always a close game, it will be a great semi-final and we'll be watching eagerly. Either of those two sides (RCB and MI), it will be a great contest, there are some great match winners in both sides.
Beth Mooney: We were outplayed in all facets. Didn't get a great start with the bat and then let the runs come quickly when we bowled. We do have some positives to take back, some individual performances which allowed us to be competitive at times during the tournament. We probably needed a bowler and an all-rounder, we lost Kashvee Gautam, Mannat showed what she could do, some batters like Laura came up well. She is a great kid, always has a smile on her face (on Shabnam Shakil), she has a great future and I'm not sure I'd like to face her in the nets. Disappointment (on her analysis of the season), might've to look for a next captain, it's been hard on me. We have got a great coach and an excellent management, we have a few pieces and will need to string them together much better in the next season.
Shikha Pandey: We are all ecstatic. The work done by the think tank to get the balance in the side was really good. The way Minu (Manni) bowled today as a spinner was brilliant. We have great camaraderie, the bowlers keep talking to each other throughout the innings on what plans to have, and what kind of lengths are working on this wicket. The players we have are so experienced, we are learning from there. We bounce ideas off each other, and talk to each other on how to execute our plans. We are really happy when Shafali is batting that way, the bowlers inside of us however feel bad, we feel for the bowlers out there in the middle.
22:05 Local Time, 16:35 GMT, 22:05 IST: Delhi Capitals chase this down on a canter to finish top of the league and qualify straight for the finals!!

Tanuja Kanwar to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Phoebe Litchfield!! Gone! Shafali going for a glory shot ends up walking off without finishing the job. Advanced too early and gave off her cards too early. Tanuja Kanwar shortens the length but Verma decides to go through with her shot nevertheless.
