She continued her dominance and removed the inform batter Harleen Deol and wicket-keeper Sushma Verma to complete her five-wicket haul.

“Just wanted to perform so badly. It’s not been going so well. I felt I missed my line and length a lot in the previous three games. If you want to perform you need to put in the hard work. Good to contribute tonight,” said Kapp at the post-match presentation.
Meg Lanning’s Capitals have set themselves back on track with a win that skyrocketed their Net Run Rate (NRR) to +2.338.
