Despite qualifying for their third consecutive final, Delhi Capitals faltered in a 150-run chase as Mumbai's bowlers struck at regular intervals in a thrilling contest.

Former South Africa pacer Shabnim Ismail created history on Tuesday when she bowled the fastest delivery ever recorded in women's cricket.

"I was a bit worried, not sure I have insurance to cover me," she said "So, in a bit of strife there."

"Over the moon," Mumbai coach and former England captain Charlotte Edwards said when asked for her reaction

India and Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur got the tournament off to a rollicking start, scoring 65 off 30 balls to power her side to a total of 207, before Saika Ishaque took four wickets as Gujarat were skittled out for 64.

"It's a very proud moment for me, firstly to be involved with Delhi and then to lead them. It's about enjoying yourself, getting the best out of yourself," Lanning said
