Meg Lanning has been thwarted at the last hurdle for the third-straight year in her frustrating bid to lead the Delhi Capitals to victory in India's Women's Premier League.
For the second time in three finals, the former Australia captain had to bow to her old India counterpart Harmanpreet Kaur as the Capitals were beaten by eight runs by Mumbai Indians in Saturday's showdown.
And at the end of the third edition of a tournament in which Australian players had consistently shone, there was huge disappointment for Delhi's Aussie trio of Lanning, Jess Jonassen and Annabel Sutherland, who all failed to deliver with the bat as they tried to chase down a modest 7-149.
