Notable individual performances in MI vs. DC matches include.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals
Mumbai Indians captured their second WPL title by beating Delhi Capitals by eight runs at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur shined brightly, scoring an outstanding 66 off 44 balls while Natalie Sciver-Brunt provided solid support with 30 runs off 28 deliveries.
At first, Delhi struggled with their bat after suffering several quick wickets and were always behind in their run chase. But their tail managed to hold firm and finally get them across the finish line as Arundhati Reddy ran two from off the final ball to claim victory for her team.
Delhi’s initial three overs yielded only five runs, as they suffered early losses to MI’s excellent bowlers. A resurgent Harmanpreet Kaur made her mark, hitting two sixes and nine fours on 44 balls to score an unbeaten knock of 66 off just 44 deliveries.
Nat Sciver-Brunt proved invaluable as her side posted an impressive total of 149/7. Amanjot Kaur also shone, scoring unbeaten 14 runs off seven balls to help give their home team an advantage in this matchup.
Brabourne Stadium pitch is known to be an enjoyable batting environment, with slow-medium pacers experiencing greater success than spin bowlers. Dew will likely make the surface trickier for batsmen – particularly slower bowlers.
Shabnim Ismail opened proceedings for DC by bowling an shortish length ball which Meg Lanning hit to point for one run before smashing another short delivery from Ismail into backward square leg for two runs in her next over. Thus putting their visitors off to an auspicious start.
Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians (MI), reigning WPL champions, will face second-place Delhi Capitals Women in the final of 2025 edition. Meg Lanning-led MI won five out of eight double round-robin matches to seal their spot in this year’s championship matchup.
MI lost their season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but have rebounded to win three consecutive matches and can secure their position atop the table if they claim two more victories over their next two matches.
DC have assembled an impressive squad after revamping theirs during the mega auction. Although they parted ways with Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, and Marcus Stoinis they still possess plenty of firepower in Rovman Powell, David Warner, Lungi Nigidi, Kuldeep Yadav Shardul Thakur Anrich Nortje Axar Patel to call upon.
But Rohit Sharma must find ways to bridge their team’s lack of batting power against Rishabh Pant’s side in order to give them any chance at defeating Rishabh Pant and his side.
MI have done well to sidestep past mistakes, yet will likely succumb against Delhi. A controversial ruling during their previous meeting gave DC an unexpected victory; similar decisions will give them the edge in what should be an intense contest.
On the other hand, Delhi have been one of the favorites to win this contest all season, and are considered favourites against Mumbai in this match-up. Their home advantage won’t stop them either: they defeated Mumbai in their previous encounter before beating Gujarat Giants. Meg Lanning remains unimpressive with her bat while Hayley Matthews and Jess Jonassen have shown promising signs of form; Shafali Verma needs to step up her performance too.
Match Preview
Delhi Capitals will look to extend their winning streak as they host arch-rival Mumbai Indians at Brabourne Stadium for a high-stakes matchup. DC are sixth on the points table and win will boost their chances of making playoffs, while MI, who have won three out of their last four matches, hope to bounce back after suffering an embarrassing loss against Rajasthan Royals last time out.
Rishabh Pant has made an outstanding comeback to both bat and bowl in Delhi’s season, regaining his form both ways and increasing his chances of making India’s World Cup squad. His fearless batting has been the highlight of their campaign and puts him in good stead to succeed at World Cup 2018.
Jess Jonassen has been an invaluable player for Delhi this season. Her left-arm spin has troubled some powerful batters while her ability to contain runs and collect wickets in the middle overs is essential to their victory.
Meg Lanning and Amelia Kerr both appear to be in prime form heading into Saturday’s final, making their confrontation one of its focal points. Lanning’s masterful batting will be pitted against Kerr’s deceptively deceptive leg-spin, making this battle one of the key factors determining Delhi’s destiny.
Shafali Verma will go head-to-head against Shabnim Ismail as two explosive openers to watch. Verma’s aggressive strokeplay will match Ismail’s raw pace; should either of them manage to strike early it could give their team a significant edge during powerplays.
Nat Sciver-Brunt and Marizanne Kapp vs Marizanne Kapp
This final is sure to be an intense contest between two of the greatest all-rounders from WPL history – both capable of turning a game around on their own; both could decide the outcome between victory and failure for Delhi’s franchise in this final.
