MUM-W vs DEL-W Pitch Report

The wicket at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has always favoured the batters. There is little available for the bowlers, and the batters get full values for their shots. However, the spinners can be very efficient on the wicket if they can use their variations cleverly. 

The dimensions of the ground make it easier to chase down targets. Given the batting strength of the two teams, both the skippers will be looking to chase if they win the toss.

MUM-W vs DEL-W Fantasy Cricket Tips

If Mumbai Indians Field First

  • Hayley Matthews changed the game with her bowling in the last edition's final against the same opponents. She can also be a very impactful batter at the start of the innings. Given the playing conditions and her record against the Capitals, Matthews will be an important pick for the match. 
  • Indian spinners like Saika Ishaque and Humaira Kazi could be the game-changing picks for the match. 

If Delhi Capitals Field First

MUM-W vs DEL-W Winner Predictions

Mumbai Indians have been dominant over the Capitals in the last edition. But this year, the Capitals' squad looks more rounded and balanced, so there are chances that the runners-up from the previous edition might emerge as the winners of the first match of WPL 2024. However, the team chasing will definitely have an advantage in the game.
