This is a statement from the girls in red and black! A win for RCB means Delhi Capitals become the second team to qualify for the playoffs.

Kim Garth continues. A couple of singles before Knigh hits Garth for a FOUR! Only seven are needed now and Knight will look to finish things off in this over itself. A decent finish to this over as she bowls two rare dots.

Tanuja Kanwer bowls her third over. Kanwar to FOUR! Cuts over covers for another boundary as RCB is just moments away from clinching its second victory. Eight came from this over.

Kim Garth comes back into the attack. Garth to Devine, FOUR! She reaches 95 with this. Two couples in two balls as Devine reaches 99! Can she hit the fastest hundred in t20 cricket?

Shreyanka Patil comes into the attack, a risky move from Mandhana. Gardner hits Patil for FOUR! Off the second ball. Patil to Wolvaardt, OUT! Unlucky Wolvaardt as she mistimes and gives a catch at mid-on off a full-toss delivery. A successful over for RCB as seven runs along with a wicket came in this.

Devine continues. Devine to Dunkley, FOUR! This is some start for Gujarat as they are quickly blazing through RCB at the moment. Devine to Dunkley, OUT! Devine strikes in her second over!- A little too ambitious shot by Dunkley as she tries to scoop the ball over fine leg but she misjudged the pace as the ball crashed into the stumps.
