Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Prediction: Mumbai won 75% of games against Delhi

Delhi Capitals Women and Mumbai Indians Women are going head to head in the 12th Match of Women Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India on 05 Mar 2024. Mumbai has won 75% of their games against Delhi. Who will win this game of cricket?

Following a loss to Mumbai in their season opener, Delhi Capitals have since won three consecutive matches leading up to their upcoming game. They now have a great opportunity to seek revenge against their rivals. Their most recent victory was against the Gujarat Giants, propelling them to the top of the table due to their impressive Net Run Rate (NRR). The top-order batsmen, especially Alice Capsey and Meg Lanning, have been in good form and rank among the top three run-scorers of the season. Shafali Verma has also contributed significantly with two half-centuries in four matches. However, the middle-order batting has been inconsistent, largely due to Jemimah Rodrigues' struggles. On the bowling front, Radha Yadav is one of the leading wicket-takers with seven dismissals to her name. She will be supported by Jess Jonassen in the spin department, while Titas Sadhu, Shikha Pandey, and Arundhati Reddy will spearhead the pace attack.

The Mumbai Indians have shown remarkable consistency this season, winning 3 out of 4 matches and currently holding a top 2 position in the points table. A victory in their upcoming match would bring them closer to qualifying for the next stage. Nat Sciver-Brunt delivered an impressive all-round performance in the previous match, taking 2 wickets and scoring 27 runs. Along with Sciver-Brunt, Mumbai Indians boast other quality all-rounders such as Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews who have the ability to impact matches significantly. Kerr leads the season's wicket-takers with 7 wickets, while Yastika Bhatia has been a reliable run-scorer at the top of the order for Mumbai. Pooja Vastrakar and Issy Wong form a formidable new-ball partnership and will aim to make early breakthroughs.
