Meg Lanning Leads Delhi Capitals Against Mumbai Indians
The Women's Premier League 2025 is off to a thrilling start, with the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians facing off in a highly anticipated match. With a target of 165 to win, the Delhi Capitals will need to put in a strong performance to take down their opponents.
Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning won the toss and chose to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025, citing the previous match's result where the chasing side won, and a bit of sickness in the team led to debuts for Scotland's Sarah Bryce, India's Niki Prasad, and Sanskriti Gupta.
The Mumbai Indians team, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, was looking to play fearless cricket and do things right, despite initially wanting to bowl first. The team includes notable players such as Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Harmanpreet Kaur. The Delhi Capitals team, on the other hand, features Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, and Jemimah Rodrigues, among others.
The match is being played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, on the same pitch as the previous match, which had skewed square boundaries. Mumbai Indians were all out for 164 in 19.1 overs, with Nat Sciver-Brunt scoring 50 off 33 balls. Harmanpreet Kaur was dismissed for 42 by Annabel Sutherland. Delhi Capitals need 165 to win.
The game is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams looking to make a strong impression in the WPL 2025. The debut of new players and the return of experienced ones will add to the excitement of the match, as Delhi Capitals look to chase down the target set by Mumbai Indians.
