MUM-W vs DEL-W Match 2: Team Previews And Comparison

Mumbai Indians Women

The MI Women took an exit from WPL 2024 after losing to the RCB Women in Eliminator 1. With Harmanpreet Kaur leading the side, all eyes will be on the one-time title winners and whether they will be able to claim back the title or not.

The squad looks strong with batting firepowers like Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia, G Kamilini and the skipper Kaur herself. All-rounders will be key to stabilising both the batting and bowling unit with names like Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr on the side. The bowling unit will be spearheaded by Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia and Jintimani Kalita.

Delhi Capitals Women

Delhi Capitals Women will enter their WPL 2025 clash against Mumbai Indians Women with a well-balanced squad led by the experienced Meg Lanning. With a strong overseas contingent featuring Alice Capsey, Annabel Sutherland, and Jess Jonassen, the team boasts both firepower and depth in all departments. 

Lanning’s leadership, coupled with the aggressive batting of Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues, provides a solid foundation at the top. The all-round capabilities of Capsey and Sutherland further strengthen the middle order, while Jonassen and Radha Yadav will be crucial in the spin department. In the pace attack, Arundhati Reddy and Titas Sadhu will aim to make an impact, ensuring DC remains a formidable force against MI Women in their campaign opener.

MUM-W vs DEL-W Match 2 Pitch Report: How Will Surface At Reliance Stadium in Vadodara Behave?

The Reliance Stadium is majorly known as a batting-friendly venue, but it also helps seamers and spinners in the game as well. It saw a few high-scoring games too and a similar run-fest is expected in the match between MI and DC with both teams capable of utilising the flat surface. 

Overall, the pitch is likely to remain favourable for batters initially before gradually wearing down as the tournament progresses. With the average 1st innings score here being 118, the toss-winning captain would likely choose to bat first on the surface and utilise the pitch.

MUM-W vs DEL-W Match 2: Fantasy Tips And Key Players

• Besides favouring batters, the Reliance stadium can also aid bowlers in the game offering a balanced contest. Hence, an all-rounder-heavy squad will be ideal for fantasy contests.
• Risky Pick: Titas Sadhu can be a risky pick for fantasy teams as though the fast bowler has contributed with the ball consistently, she has conceded runs too. In T20Is, she has an economy rate of 7.13 with a bowling strike rate of 16.71. Hence, it can be a risky bet to include her in a fantasy team with her slightly dimming T20 form.
• Safe Pick: Amelia Kerr has been at the top of the game in the recent T20s. The 24-year-all-rounder has been consistently contributing with both the bat and the ball and might be crucial in delivering at the Reliance Stadium pitch too. With figures of 4-20 and a batting strike rate of 108.45, she can be an asset for fantasy teams.
• The Game-Changer: Parunika Sisodia can make light work of the middle and tail-end batters of DC with her spin skills as the pitch wears off during the game and she gets a grip with the ball. With her scintillating recent form, she can be a potential game-changer for the team.
• Mumbai Indians Women's Expected Key Players: Hayley Matthews, Harmanpreet Kaur, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, G Kamalini
• Delhi Capitals Women's Expected Key Players: Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Annabel Sutherland, Alice Capsey

MUM-W vs DEL-W Match 2: Winner Prediction

MI Women has been a dominant force over DC Women in the tournament since 2023 and with the campaign starter on its way, boasting a strong overseas inclusion and solid batting depth, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is favourites to win this game against Delhi Capitals Women.
