Bengaluru
The 13th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) between the Delhi Capital Women and the Mumbai Indians Women will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This is expected to have an exciting match between the two teams, as both teams are in great form this season and hold the top two places in the points table.
Both teams have performed so far
Mumbai Indians Women: The current champions Mumbai Indians is also in a strong position this season. The team has won three consecutive matches so far, with their only defeat against Delhi Capitals in Vadodara. NAT SEIR-Brant has been the biggest strength of this team, who has performed brilliantly with both bat and ball. His captain Harmanpreet Kaur and young Indian players have also made the team balanced. Although there are some weaknesses in the team, the all-round performance of the Sear-Brant has covered them.
Delhi Capitals Women: This season of Delhi is still mixed. Recently, an easy win against Gujarat giants has boosted his confidence. In that match, the decision to promote Jess Jonason to bat at number three was proved correct. However, the form of captain Meg Lining remains a matter of concern. Lanning, which scored an average of more than 45 against Mumbai in the previous season, has not been able to achieve her rhythm this time. On the other hand, the young off-spinner Sanskriti Gupta has impressed in a recent match and is trying to confirm his place.
Head-to-head record
So far 5 matches have been played between the two teams in the Women’s Premier League, in which Mumbai has won three and Delhi has won two. Earlier this season, Delhi defeated Mumbai by 2 wickets in a thrilling match in Vadodara. Mumbai will be expected to take revenge.
Pitch and Weather Report
The pitch of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is usually helpful for batsmen, but spinners also get success here. The weather is expected to remain clear, which can lead to the entire match without any hindrance. The toss winning team would likely like to bowl first, so that a strategy can be made to chase the target.
This match is important for Mumbai
Both teams are in a strong position with six points, but an additional defeat of Delhi puts them slightly behind Mumbai. If Delhi is able to implement its strategy properly, it can challenge Mumbai. On the other hand, the depth and experience of Mumbai gives them a slight edge.
