The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 will witness a high-stakes clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Both teams have six points each, but MI have an edge with one game in hand.
Current Form and Team Dynamics
- Mumbai Indians (WWW): MI have won three consecutive matches after losing their season opener against DC. Nat Sciver-Brunt has been instrumental in their success, delivering with both bat and ball. However, form concerns persist for Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews.
- Delhi Capitals (WLW): DC have been inconsistent but are coming off a dominant win against Gujarat Giants. The move to promote Jess Jonassen to No. 3 has worked well, but captain Meg Lanning is yet to hit top form this season.
Key Players to Watch
- Jess Jonassen (DC): Showed her all-round brilliance with a quick 61 off 32 balls in the last match and a four-wicket haul earlier.
- Sanskriti Gupta (MI): The young off-spinner impressed with a match-winning spell against UP Warriorz and will be eager to cement her place in the XI.
