"Not too many stressful days like that," Lanning admitted after the match. "They looked like getting to 200. Pandey in particular bowled well. There were patches where we were going well with the bat, but Mumbai came back well. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like. Minnu did well. You have to keep changing. When batters are set, you can't let them face the same thing twice, so I kept changing. Niki did an excellent job of coming in at a tricky time. Radha Yadav also hit that six. T20 is about impact play, and I thought we did that well."

After being put in to bat, Mumbai Indians seemed to be heading towards a massive total with Nat Sciver-Brunt leading the charge.

She found strong support in Harmanpreet Kaur, who contributed a quickfire 42 off 22 balls. At one stage, Mumbai looked set to breach the 200-run mark, but a collapse in the final overs saw them bowled out for 164 in 19.1 overs.   Read More...
