DC vs MI, WPL 2024: Delhi Capitals Aim to Avenge Season-Opening Loss
Delhi Capitals (DC) will face off against defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in a highly anticipated Women’s Premier League (WPL) match on Tuesday in Delhi. The match will be a rematch of the season opener, which MI won by a comfortable margin.
DC will be eager to avenge their defeat and secure their second win of the tournament. They come into the match on the back of a 25-run victory over Gujarat Giants, where opener Shafali Verma starred with a blistering 73 off 49 balls.
MI, on the other hand, will be looking to maintain their winning streak after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets in their previous outing. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led the charge with an unbeaten 65, while young all-rounder Richa Ghosh chipped in with a crucial 41.
The match promises to be a thrilling contest between two evenly matched teams. DC will rely on the experience of Jemimah Rodrigues and Meg Lanning, while MI will look to their star-studded lineup featuring Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, and Sophia Dunkley.
The key battle to watch will be between DC’s bowling attack, led by Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Marizanne Kapp, and MI’s powerful batting lineup. If DC can restrict MI’s run-scoring, they will have a good chance of securing a victory.
The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and will start at 7:30 PM IST. Fans can watch the live action on Star Sports and Disney+ Hotstar.
