Delhi Capitals have dominated the Womenβs Premier League, finishing at the top of the table in the group stage and securing a direct spot in the final. They were the runers-up last season and seem hungry to take the trophy this time with plenty of match-winners performing in different games.
Shafali Verma has been Delhiβs most destructive batter, hammering 300 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 158.Β With 34 fours and 16 sixes to her name, her aggressive approach will be crucial in giving the team a flying start in the powerplay.
Captain Meg Lanning has anchored the middle order with 263 runs at a strike rate of 117. Meanwhile, Jess Jonassen has stepped up with 137 runs at 155.68, adding valuable runs down the order.
With the ball, Jess Jonassen and Shikha Pandey have been consistent wicket-takers, picking up 11 each.Β Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp have provided support, combining for 14 wickets. Delhiβs bowling unit looks well-rounded and ready for the final phase of the tournament.
Mumbai Indians Preview
Mumbai Indians Women have maintained a strong presence in the WPL this season, securing five wins from eight games to finish second in the group stage. They carried that form into the Eliminator, where they convincingly got past Gujarat Giants Women, beating them by 47 runs after posting a massive 213-4 on the board.Β
The final will be a different story as they meet a team they havenβt beaten this year and all their match-winners will need to step up.
Nat Sciver-Brunt has led the charge with the bat, amassing 493 runs at a strike rate of 156 across nine innings.Β She has been in sensational form and has struck five fifties this season, including a fine knock of 77 off 41 in the Eliminator.
Hayley Matthews, meanwhile, has provided solid starts at the top, adding 304 runs at 126.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has played a supporting role, contributing 236 runs at 156.29. Her cameo at the end can be game-changing for Mumbai in the final.Β
Weather Conditions
Batters at Brabourne Stadium will enjoy favorable conditions in the first innings as the ball comes on at a nice height to the bat. The stadiumβs short boundaries create plenty of scoring chances, but expect the pitch to decline markedly during the second innings overs when the ball starts to grip. Past 9 PM, an unusual sea breeze strengthens from the western stand, making slower cutters more effective and swing bowling less predictable.
As for weather, Mumbai is expected to have a clear, mild evening with zero precipitation threats.
