Mumbai Indians Women are all set to face the Delhi Capitals Women in the 3rd match of the WPL 2026. The clash will be held on January 10, in the evening of a double-header Saturday. 

While the Delhi Capitals Women will be having the inaugural clash of their season, the Mumbai Indians are coming off a heartbreaking defeat after their opening clash with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women. 

Despite what looked like a win, MI-W failed to convert a successful total on board to a good defence, thanks to the heroics of RCB-W batter Nadine de Clerk.

Delhi Capitals had quite a successful campaign in the previous season, where they marched straight into the finale and lost to MI-W. Nevertheless, under the new leadership of Jemimah Rodrigues, they will be willing to bounce back in the upcoming clash.

As the Mumbai Indians get ready to face the Delhi Capitals, here we explain the expected playing conditions, including the weather and the pitch reports of the DY Patil Stadium.
