Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians: The contest came down to the wire the last time these two clubs faced off. In the end, Sajeevan Sajana’s six off the final ball helped the Indians cross the finish line. However, the hunt was not easy; the competition fluctuated, as befitted a high-stakes event such as the WPL.
The Capitals were devastated, but they took the loss well and went on to win three straight games. In the T20 context, not only routine triumphs over the finish line, but convincing routs. The reigning champions, Mumbai Indians, defeated Gujarat in their subsequent game but suffered a setback against UP Warriorz. But in their most recent game of the campaign, they recovered magnificently to overcome RCB Women.
The 12th T20 match between Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians will take place from March 5th, 2024, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India.

Preview
Delhi Capitals passed Mumbai Indians with a 25-run victory over Gujarat Giants to clinch first spot in the rankings. With another useful half century, Captain Meg Lanning led from the front with great skill. With Alice Capsey and Annabel Sutherland making quick hits of 27 and 20, respectively, to enable their side finish with 163/8 in their allocated overs, her 55 was the best score of any batter in Delhi history. Shikha Pandey, the pacer, finished with a flourish, hitting 14 off only 8 balls, while Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma fell cheaply and were unable to contribute significantly to the total.
Early on, the Delhi bowlers’ precision bowling made 164 appear even more difficult. Despite the fact that the first run off the bat came on the 14th delivery, their new ball bowlers bowled with accuracy and took a wicket on the ninth ball of the innings. However, Jess Jonassen, another Australian, was pushed into the offensive and quickly dismissed both Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, breaking the back of the Giants’ pursuit before they could regroup. She effectively ended their aspirations of a chase when she had top-scoring Australian Ash Gardner stumped in the fifteenth over.
Full Squad:
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 (Match Odds- 1.95)
Preview
The Mumbai Indians have won three of their last four games and are well-positioned to lock up a top-2 finish, but a lot will depend on how well they play the Capitals in this game. After Harmanpreet Kaur’s temporary absence from the team, Nat Sciver Brunt has been named captain. She has also done a good job of keeping the squad focused and on track for the championship defence.
They recently lost to UP Warriorz, but they didn’t allow the defeat get any worse as they handled the RCB challenge admirably to maintain their lead in the standings. They have every reason to think they can return to the top with a victory over Delhi Capitals tonight. After a couple bad performances early on, Hayley Matthews has regained her form, while Yastika Bhatia has also been doing well. Amelia Kerr is an important cog in their machine since she has been outstanding with the bat and the ball.
While Pooja Vastrakar hasn’t quite lived up to the hype, she has done a good job in her role and has shown to be Kerr’s trustworthy ally thus far. Shabnam Ismail’s replacement, Issy Wong, is gradually finding her bowling rhythm as well.
Full Squad:
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.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Toss Prediction:
DC has won one game while pursuing and two games setting a total. MI has said unequivocally that they plan to bat second and win any time they have the opportunity to chase a total. Still, it ought to be a fascinating toss. But in this case, we assume the pursuing team will have the upper hand.
Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Pitch Report:
This location is known for having a deck that helps slow bowlers and spinners. Here, deceptive talents are highly valued, therefore both sides should try to load up with as many twirlers as they can. The weather is supposed to cooperate nicely, so we should have a full competition. As summer is only getting started, it’s unclear if dew will be important.
Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Match Report:
Even though they aren’t winning right now, the Mumbai Indians have defeated the Delhi Capitals three times in the WPL. In addition, we predict that MI will be too strong for the Delhi Capitals to handle in this game.
We predict Mumbai Indians to win the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match at the odds of 1.95
