Preview

The Women’s Premier League (WPL 2024) carnival has rolled into Delhi following its electrifying stint in Bangalore earlier this season. In their last encounter, the Mumbai Indians clashed with the Delhi Capitals in a thrilling showdown that saw the game teetering on the edge until the final ball. Sajeevan Sajana’s heroic last-ball six sealed the victory for the Indians. However, despite their advantage, the Indians understand the Capitals’ potential and the significance of not underestimating them, especially as the tournament progresses beyond its midpoint.

Although disheartened by the loss, the Capitals gracefully accepted defeat and rallied back with three consecutive victories. Their wins weren’t just ordinary; they were dominant displays in the T20. Meanwhile, the defending champions, Mumbai Indians, swiftly overcame Gujarat in their next fixture but stumbled against UP Warriorz. Nevertheless, they showcased their resilience by bouncing back in style to triumph over RCB Women in their most recent match of the competition. As the action further intensifies in the ongoing WPL 2024, both teams remain poised for further challenges and triumphs in the latter half.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium has a reputation for favouring spinners and slow bowlers, offering deceptive assistance to their skills. Both teams are anticipated to strengthen their line-up with as many spinners as possible. The weather forecast indicates favourable conditions for a complete contest. With early summer setting in, the potential impact of dew remains uncertain. It’ll be intriguing to see how teams adapt to these conditions and strategize accordingly for this crucial encounter.

Head-to-Head Record

Probable Playing XI

Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W):

Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Jemimah Rodrigues, Annabel Sutherland, Jess Jonassen, Arundhati Reddy, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Titas Sadhu, Radha Yadav, Shikha Pandey.

Mumbai Indians (MI-W):

Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Amelia Kerr, Pooja Vastrakar, Issy Wong, S Sajana, Amanjot Kaur, Humaira Kazi, Keerthana Balakrishnan, Saika Ishaque.

Probable Best Batter of the Match

A dominant 25-run victory against Gujarat Giants propelled Delhi Capitals to the top of the table, surpassing Mumbai Indians. Captain Meg Lanning showcased her brilliance yet again, contributing with a valuable half-century. Lanning’s impressive knock of 55 runs stood out as the highest individual score for any Delhi batter. Her current form indicates she’s in sublime touch, and if she opts for an aggressive approach against the MI bowlers early on, she could wreak havoc on the opposition.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

The Capitals’ opening bowlers displayed precision, claiming a wicket within the first nine deliveries, with the first run off the bat arriving on the 14th ball. Australian fast bowler Jess Jonassen was introduced into the attack and made an immediate impact, dismissing both key batters of Gujarat Giants, Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, in the same over. Jonassen’s double strike proved crucial, significantly denting the Giants’ pursuit of the target.
