🏏WPL 2023 - Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women: Match 18 🏏 - Page 2

Sounds fun 🥳

May the best team win 

Tonight’s second game of the WPL takes us to the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Stadium, where two sides who have already qualified face each other in Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. However, because of the format of this competition, there are no dead rubbers and there is still something very important to play for. The team that finishes first gets a direct route to the final, while the second placed side will have to go through an eliminator. Mumbai Indians got a resounding victory in the return leg, but Meg Lanning and co. would be to fight back and even the scales tonight. Stick around for the toss and team updates…

Mumbai are coming off a loss in the previous match to the Warriorz. Capitals are coming off a loss to the Giants. But because the top spot isn't a done deal, it's unlikely either side will experiment.

Mumbai haven't been able to afford too many opportunities to their young Indian batters because of how dominant their international stars have been. Capitals too have been propelled by a power-packed top-order.

Delhi Capitals Women have won the toss and have opted to field

Pitch Report: The earlier game wasn't on this track, and that one turned quite a bit. This is also a track that will turn, but don't could out the fast bowlers. Good to bat or bowl first on this track. Dew factor could play a role, but not too significant if there are runs on the board.

Harmanpreet Kaur: Toss is not in my control, you have to accept whatever. We are a very balanced side, so no complains in terms of batting or bowling first. In the last game, batting is something we want to show more responsibility. We are fairly confident and have a balanced side, just need to execute the plans. One change for us, Pooja Vastrakar comes in to replace Dhara (Gujjar).

Meg Lanning: We'll bowl first, no real reason. Just going to see how it goes. Same team, same combination as the previous game. The idea is to keep is as simple as we can, be consistent and hopefully get the job done.

Mumbai Indians Women (Playing XI): Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia(w), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Amelia Kerr, Issy Wong, Pooja Vastrakar, Amanjot Kaur, Humaira Kazi, Jintimani Kalita, Saika Ishaque

Delhi Capitals Women (Playing XI): Meg Lanning(c), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Taniya Bhatia(w), Jess Jonassen, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav

Shafali Verma: The focus is on this game firstly. We want to give it our best and get a win. We will trust our stratergy for today, and execute our plans. In the powerplay, I only think of scoring quickly and helping the team.
