WPL 2026: Bottom-placed Delhi Capitals face struggling Mumbai Indians

In a high-intensity clash in the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2026, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians are set to cross paths in the 13th match on Tuesday. Having had rather disappointing starts to their campaigns and the lingering memory of last season’s final, this contest will be crucial for both sides.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians have endured an unusual start to their title defence with two victories from five matches. They are sitting in the top half of the table, having wasted opportunities during the home leg of the tournament. Nevertheless, the team has the experience to make their comeback, and they will be eager to use this game to reassert their authority.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have found the initial phase of the tournament far more challenging. Under the leadership of new captain Jemimah Rodrigues, the side is still searching for rhythm and confidence. With just one win from four games, Delhi currently sit at the bottom of the points table. Despite brimming with high-class talent, they have lacked sustained execution that has put them in a state of fix. In their last meeting earlier this season, Mumbai defeated Delhi, with the defending champions producing a commanding all-round performance.

Head-to-head

Matches - 8

DC-W won - 4

MI-W won - 4

Delhi Capitals possible XI: Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee (wk), Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues (c), Marizanne Kapp, Niki Prasad, Sneh Rana, Minnu Mani, N Shree Charani, Nandani Sharma, Lucy Hamilton

Mumbai Indians possible XI: G Kamalini (wk), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, Nicola Carey, Sajeevan Sajana, Sanskriti Gupta, Kranthi Reddy, Triveni Vasistha
