If the Delhi Capitals Women’s team bats first, they will be expected to haul above 160 runs in the game, i.e., more than the average first innings total of the venue. Captain Meg Lanning and dashing all-rounder Annabel Sutherland have both managed to demonstrate their batting excellence off late, scoring handy runs at a good clip. Blistering opener Shafali Verma also holds the tendency of providing quick starts at the top of the order.

The Warriorz’ batting line-up possesses exciting uncapped talent in the form of Kiran Navgire and Shweta Sehrawat. Captain Deepti Sharma and star middle-order batter Chinelle Henry can also score quick runs during the backend of the innings. The Warriorz recently conjured a competitive 166-run total against Delhi Capitals just a couple of games ago in WPL 2025.
