MUM-W vs DEL-W Head To Head Record [Source: @nasser_mo3gza/x.com]
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is all set to kick off in style as Mumbai Indians Women (MUM-W) take on Delhi Capitals Women (DEL-W) in Match 2 on February 15 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Both teams will want to set the tone early and put down a marker for the rest of the season.
Mumbai Indians Women
Led by the ever-dependable Harmanpreet Kaur, Mumbai Indians Women were impressive last season as they finished second in the league stage with five wins from eight matches. MUM-W has a formidable squad that can challenge any opposition on its day.
With Kaur at the helm, they have star players like Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews and Shabnim Ismail who can turn games on their heads. Don’t forget their rising Indian talent—Yastika Bhatia, Amanjot Kaur, and the newest recruit G Kamalini—all set to make an impact.
Mumbai's bowling attack, led by Saika Ishaque and Shabnim Ismail, gives them a lethal edge, especially on slower tracks. They’ll want to hit the ground running and bag those two crucial points in their opening fixture.
Delhi Capitals Women
For Delhi Capitals Women, it’s been a frustrating case of “so close, yet so far.” Two finals, two heartbreaks, they will be desperate to go all the way this time. Last year, DEL-W topped the table with six wins but fell short in the final, leaving them hungry to take that extra step this year.
Meg Lanning, one of the best leaders in women’s cricket, will once again look to guide her team to glory. With top-notch players like Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, and Jess Jonassen, DEL-W is stacked with game-changers.
Expect Radha Yadav and Annabel Sutherland to play key roles as well. After dominating the league stage last year, they’ll be eager to shake off the tag of “almost there” and start their campaign with a bang.
