<h2>Shabnim Isamil sets record for fastest delivery in WPL</h2>

On the second ball of the third over, Shabnim bowling to Meg Lanning delivered the fastest ball in the history of women's cricket. The ball hit Lanning’s pad and saw an appeal from the bowling side which was turned down by the standing umpire. However, Mumbai Indians decided not to review in the early stage of the match. However, the historic moment was the only time Shabnim had a good day at the office as she ended with figures of 46/1 in her four overs.

The South African bowler also has the fastest delivery in international cricket for women while also clocking the 127 kmph mark twice during the 2022 ODI World Cup. Ismail had also recorded a delivery at 128.3 kmph in the opening game of the tournament, also against the Capitals.

<h2>What happened in the match?</h2>

Mumbai Indians having won on the final ball during the curtain-raiser clash against Delhi Capitals, did not have the best time on Tuesday. The defending champions were beaten by 29 runs in the return leg contest&nbsp;by Delhi Capitals. Jemimah Rodrigues was adjudged Player of the Match for her unbeaten 69-run knock while skipper Meg Lanning scored 53 runs. There were starts for Shafali Verma (29) and Alice Capsey (19) which propelled Delhi to 192/4 in their 20 overs.

In response, Mumbai Indians were beaten down easily owing to Jess Jonassen’s figures of 21/3 in her four over. Marizanne Kapp also bagged a couple of wickets to break Mumbai Indians back and restricted them to 163/8 in their 20 overs. Amanjot Kaur top scored with 42 runs from 27 deliveries and did not get a good helping hand to avoid the disappointing defeat.
