Womens Premier League 2023: Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women – 18th Match Preview and Updates

Cricket

The Women’s IPL is nearing the end, but the top three spots are still up in the air. In this desperate situation, the Mumbai Indians Women will host the Delhi Capitals Women. The DC Women are only two points behind the MI Women.

The game will be crucial for both teams in order to avoid the elimination round. MI has 10 points in six games and needs one more win to advance to the WPL’s first final. Their final match will be against RCB Women. And, after a rousing inning from Sophie Devine (99 off 36 balls) in the RCBW game to chase 189 in the 16th over, MIW captain Harmanpreet would prefer not to leave things hanging for the final game.

The 18th Match between Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women will take place on March 20th, 2023 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women

Mumbai Indians Women (Match Odds – 1.70):

Preview:

The first loss brought some MIW issues to the forefront. The inexperience of the middle and lower orders is one of them. MIW have won three of their 5 games by 8 or more wickets, which has not given enough time for other batters to face difficult situations. MIW management should work on this to keep the form alive. Hayley Matthews will be our pick for the match’s best player. In six games, Matthews has 203 runs with the bat and 11 wickets with the ball. She is the tournament’s fifth-highest run-scorer and third-highest wicket-taker.

This season, Harmanpreet Kaur has handled MIW expertly. MI’s leading run scorer is Kaur. She has the most half-centuries (3) this season, averaging 68.33 with a strike rate of 166.66. Without a doubt, a big inning is on the way against the DC Women. Nat-Sciver-Brunt is another DCW powerhouse to keep an eye on. In six games, NSB has 187 runs and seven wickets.

MIW’s bowling attack is the most insane and dangerous. MI Women has three of the season’s top four wicket-takers. Saika Ishaque tops the table with 12 wickets at an average of 10.41, the highest of any player. Matthews ranks third on the list with 11 points. Amelia Kerr is in fourth place with ten wickets. The trio has a wicket every 12 balls. MI’s final two bowlers will be NSB and Wong.

Full Squad:

Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amanjot Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Heather Graham, Issy Wong, Chloe Tryon, Priyanka Bala, Dhara Gujjar, Saika Ishaque, Humairaa Kaazi, Sonam Yadav, Jintimani Kalita, Neelam Bisht, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Pooja Vastrakar, Yastika Bhatia, Amelia Kerr

Players to watch out for:

Hayley Matthews

The West Indian started the WPL 2023 tournament in good form before losing it, but she returned to form in the final match with one four and three sixes.

Harmanpreet Kaur

The captain made another important contribution in the previous game. She has hit over 200 runs in the tournament.

Amelia Kerr

The New Zealand spinner took two more wickets in Saturday’s defeat, bringing her total to two wickets in three games.

Possible Playing XI:

Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Issy Wong, Humaira Kazi, Dhara Gujjar, Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, Saika Ishaque

Delhi Capitals Women (Match Odds – 2.15):

Preview:

DCW’s qualification path has been altered by a loss to the Gujarat Giants. They only have one more game after this. It is also against UP Warriorz. It is best not to leave things until the very end. Lanning and Shafali Verma must be at the peak of their abilities. Lanning leads the runs table with 239 runs in six games, including two half-centuries. She is our pick for the best batter. After back-to-back poor innings, Verma has lost his way to the top. Three and four will be Alice Capsey and Jemimmah Rodriguez. Capsey struck out over 160 times in the last four innings she played.

The top seven in Delhi have a strike rate of more than 130. They have scored more powerplay goals than any other team. Marizanne, in the centre, has distributed the top order for Delhi. In 5 innings, the all-rounder has scored 125 runs. She has 7 wickets with the ball as well, including a five-for. Arundhati Reddy and Jess Jonassen can also bat at six and seven.

DC Women have two five-wicket takers, but their performance on the scoreboard is inconsistent. Shikha Pandey leads DCW in wicket-taking with 8 at an economy of 6.86. She will collaborate with Tara Norris. Norris took one wicket in one over against MIW in the first game. MI has all-rounders, but Delhi does not. As a result, the top order will be expected to score a lot of runs.

Full Squad:

Meg Lanning (c), Alice Capsey, Shikha Pandey, Jess Jonassen, Laura Harris, Radha Yadav, Minnu Mani, Taniya Bhatia, Poonam Yadav, Sneha Deepthi, Arundhati Reddy, Titas Sadhu, Jasia Akhter, Tara Norris, Aparna Mondal, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp

Players to watch out for:

Meg Lanning

The captain is second in the tournament in run scoring, trailing only Sophie Devine, who hit 99 on Saturday. In her last game with the Mumbai Indians, she hit 43 of the Delhi Capitals’ 105 shots.

Marizanne Kapp

The South African all-rounder has demonstrated her bat and ball skills in the WPL. She has three 30+ scores and seven wickets prior to this game.

Jess Jonassen

The Australian left-arm spinner was always going to have success in India on these pitches. In the tournament, her best figures are 3-43.

Possible Playing XI:

Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp, Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, Jess Jonassen, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Minnu Mani, Shikha Pandey, Radha Yadav, Tara Norris
