All-round Mumbai Indians asserted their supremacy in the Women's Premier League with an eight-wicket thrashing of Delhi Capitals in a top of the table clash in Mumbai on Thursday. Saika Ishaque, Isabelle Wong and Hayley Matthews - each with three wickets apiece - led Mumbai Indians' charge with the ball to bundle out Delhi Capitals for a mere 105 in 18 overs. With a small target to chase, Mumbai romped home to their third win in a row in 15 overs with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (11 not out) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (23 not out) taking them past the finish line.

Chasing 106, the opening pair of Yastika Bhatia (41) and Hayley Matthews (32) knocked off 47 runs in the powerplay and shared 65 runs for the first wicket to ensure a big win for their team.

For Delhi, it was their first loss of the inaugural season.

Yastika played her most convincing innings in the tournament so far, with the hard-hitting Matthews also cashing in on the bad deliveries.

Yastika clobbered eight fours to record her highest score in the WPL while Matthews, coming off a match-winning 77 not out, looked unhurried in her 31-ball stay with six fours.
