MI vs DC, WPL 2026: A new era begins for DC as they face MI
The 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) enters into a blockbuster clash as defending champions Mumbai Indians lock horns with Delhi Capitals in Match 3 of the season on Saturday at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy.

For DC, having reached all three previous WPL finals without lifting the trophy, the new season is an opportunity to overcome repeated heartbreak. There is also the dawn of a new leadership era for Delhi. The departure of legendary captain Meg Lanning has paved the way for Jemimah Rodrigues to step into the leadership role.
