DC-W vs MI-W: Team Previews
Delhi Capitals Women
After trashing Gujarat Giants Women with a 25-run victory, Delhi Capitals Women raced through the top of the points tables.
DC-W continue their sublime run in this WPL 2024 season with a sensational display of collective performance. The firepower of Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma at the top has been the team's biggest asset.
With the ball, DC have discovered a new hero in every game. After Radha Yadav's three-wicket haul, Jess Jonassen grabbed 3/22 against GG-W on Sunday.
Meanwhile, after dominating the first leg, Meg Lanning and Co. will move to home in Delhi for the second half. With the home crowd's support, Delhi Women are expected to put up a good show.
Mumbai Indians Women
Defending champions Mumbai Indians Women are breathing down DC-W's neck on the points table, with only the net run rate separating the two giant sides.
Notably, MI-W has won their previous game without skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's services as she continues to battle a concerning niggle. Besides, their top go-to bowler, Shabnim Ismail, has also missed a couple of games with an underlying injury.
Despite the absence of top performers, MI have managed to establish its dominance in the league.
Amelia Kerr, Hayley Matthews, and stand-in captain Nat Sciver-Brunt stepped up in Kaur's absence to register an authoritative win against RCB-W.
Interestingly, Kaur is expected to be back for this particular game, which will further add strength to MI's formidable lineup. However, suspense over Ismail's availability still looms.
