5.2 - Rana to Devine, FOUR runs
Dropped - oh dear! Dragged down just outside off. Devine rocks back and carves it uppishly towards cover-point. Kapp dives to her left, gets both hands to it but cannot make it stick

5.3 - Rana to Devine, SIX runs
Sophie Devine on the charge! Slowed up on a fullish length on off. Devine dances down and launches it over long on!

The party continues! Devine has a 25-ball fifty! Looped up and right where Devine wants it on leg stump. She clears her front leg and smokes it over cow corner!

5.5 - Rana to Devine, SIX runs
Three sixes in a row, and Devine is ripping Rana to shreds! Another floaty half-volley and Devine says thank you very much. She gets down on one knee and clubs it over deep midwicket!

5.6 - Rana to Devine, SIX runs
32 off the over, and that is the most expensive over ever in the WPL! The Giants already seem to have the Capitals on the mat now! Not the greatest ball Rana has ever bowled. This is a full toss on leg and Devine wallops it over deep mid wicket. A massive, massive over!
