Pre-Match Analysis:
Delhi Capitals Women have the advantages as well as the disadvantages heading to their 3rd final. Firstly, they have beaten Mumbai Indians twice already in the league stages to guarantee their direct qualification into the finals this season. Because of the unforeseen scheduling, they didn’t get a game for than a week after wrapping up the league campaign in Lucknow last Friday. Additionally, they are new to the Brabourne conditions this season. Meg Lanning and her side, at the moment, aren’t thinking of all the disadvantages as they have only vision in the mind to win their 1st title to put an end to their final jinx.
With 5 wins and 3 losses, they topped the standings with 10 points. Openers Shafali Verma and skipper Meg Lanning are on song with the bat, scoring 300 runs and 263 runs, respectively. With the ball, Shikha Pandey and Jess Jonassen share the honors with 11 scalps each. The franchise is still awaiting a title from their Men in IPL. Will the Women achieve the dream in the WPL? Saturday night will give us the answer.
Mumbai Indians franchise has the habit of doing well in the finals, be it the Men or Women, who both have done well in the past. The Women’s side emerged as the winners of the inaugural WPL, beating Delhi Capitals in the finals. Harmanpreet Kaur led side dropped out of the tournament in the Eliminator in the 2nd season. They became the only 2nd team in the WPL history to qualify for the Playoffs for the 3rd time in a row.
Identical 77-run knocks from Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver Brunt with contrasting strike rates and another profound bowling display from Hayley Matthews (3 for 31) enabled them to complete a 47-run victory over the Gujarat Giants in Thursday’s Eliminator. Having world-class all-rounders in the mix makes them formidable and hard to beat. With all players in good shape, they are one victory away from securing their 2nd WPL title.
