Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women

Delhi Capitals Women (Match Odds – 2.00):

Preview:

Whatever happens in the final, the Delhi Capitals Women have had a memorable season. They were the first team to reach the WPL finals and have improved with each game.

Captain Meg Lanning has been their best batter all season. She has scored 310 runs in eight matches this season at a strike rate of 141. We anticipate another strong performance from the opener in the crucial final.

Shafali Verma (241 runs at a strike rate of nearly 183), who has given the team a flying start, will help Delhi take the lead in the final.

Marizanne Kapp is another player we believe will do well in the final. She’s been a solid middle-order bat this season, collecting 159 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 127.20. Kapp has also delivered with the ball, taking 9 wickets at a 5.75 economy rate.

Fast bowler Shikha Pandey has been the Capitals’ best bowler this season, with 10 wickets at an economy of 6.71. Her new ball spell could be crucial to the game’s outcome. Jess Jonassen, a left-arm spinner with an economy rate of 7.77, will be a handful on this surface.

Full Squad:

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

Players to watch out for:

Meg Lanning

Despite hitting only two half-centuries in the WPL 2023, Lanning’s consistency means she enters this final as the tournament’s leading run scorer.

Alice Capsey

The batting all-rounder took 3-26 in her last outing and has scored 34, 38 not-out, 22, and 38 in her last four innings.

Shikha Pandey

The 33 year old medium pacer went wicketless in the last game but has had a strong tournament and bowls consistently in all games.

Possible Playing XI:

Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Jess Jonassen, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav

Mumbai Indians Women (Match Odds – 1.80):

Preview:

For the majority of the WPL, Mumbai was expected to go straight to the final. They had won five consecutive matches and appeared unbeatable… until they lost two in a row. However, they have come roaring back by registering two wins on the trot, including a thumping win against the UP Warriorz in the Eliminator.

Nat Sciver-Brunt once again demonstrated her class with a stunning 72* off 38 balls. She is now the team’s highest run-getter this season, with 272 runs at a strike rate of 149.45.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain, may not have scored many runs in recent games, but she’s a big match player, and we expect something special from her in the final.

Hayley Matthews, Mumbai’s all-rounder, has had a fantastic season with both the bat and the ball. She has scored 258 runs in 9 matches as an opener, with a strike rate of 127. She has also taken 13 off-break wickets at a 6.56 economy rate. Suffice it to say, she will play a significant role in the final.

Issy Wong has been on a roll with the ball. In the Eliminator against UP, the right-arm quick recorded the tournament’s first-ever hat-trick, bringing her season tally to 12 wickets at a fantastic economy of 5.89. With her movement off the pitch, she will pose a serious challenge to the Delhi batters during the middle overs.

Full Squad:

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

Players to watch out for:

Nat Sciver-Brunt

In the Eliminator, the English batting all-rounder posted her highest score of the competition. She has a lot of experience and enjoys big games like this.

Hayley Matthews

The West Indian all-rounder has had an outstanding WPL season and has established herself as one of the best players in women’s cricket. Only four players in the tournament have scored more runs than she has.

Saika Ishaque

The 27-year-old left-arm spinner had a strong start to the tournament before going wicketless in three games in a row. She is, however, back in form ahead of this match.

Possible Playing XI:

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

Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Toss Prediction

This season, batting second has paid greater dividends at Brabourne Stadium. Six of the ten WPL games played at the venue have been won by the chasing team. In the final, the team that wins the toss is expected to bat first.

Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Pitch Report

In the WPL, the average first innings score at Brabourne Stadium is 169. This season’s highest total is 223-2 Delhi Capitals Women. In the final, the team batting first should aim for at least 180 runs, as batting will become easier in the second half.

The pitch at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium has something for both bolers and batters. It is known to be batting friendly, but it has also helped seamers and spinners. When the ball is new, fast bowlers will notice movement off the pitch. However, as the dew begins to fall at night, the ball will come on nicely to the bat and runs will flow freely. The forecast for the match in Mumbai is clear, warm, and humid.

Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Prediction

Both the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals have an evenly matched batting lineup. Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Harmanpreet Kaur are all expected to make an impact with the bat. The two teams’ bowling, however, may be what separates them in the final. While Delhi has a strong bowling unit, Mumbai’s bowling is much more diverse and in excellent condition. We believe Wong, Matthews, and Saika Ishaque will be the Capitals’ most difficult opponents in the final. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!

Mumbai Indians Women is the favourite to beat Delhi Capitals Women at the odds of 1.80.
