Match Preview
After the successful completion of the first leg of the WPL 2024, action will now shift to the Arjun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The first match to be played at the venue would be between home favourites Delhi Capitals Women and the reigning champions Mumbai Indians Women. Delhi and Mumbai would enter into the game on the back of three wins and one loss in the last four games. Both teams have had a successful inaugural season in one of the biggest women’s leagues and have continued their dominance in the new season.
While Delhi will aim to secure a win at home and continue their dominance from being on the top, Mumbai will aim to defeat their rivals in front of the home ground and replace them in the standings.
Toss Prediction
Delhi Capitals Women and Mumbai Indians Women have faced each other on four occasions, combining seasons one and two. This will be their fifth encounter overall, and second in the current season. Talking about the toss, Delhi captain Meg Lanning boasts a record of 3-1 over Mumbai Indians’ skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. Considering the record as well as the fact that the upcoming match will be played in Delhi, Lanning is likely to get backed by luck to come on top in the toss war.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, Delhi and Mumbai have locked horns four times in the Women’s Premier League so far. In the clashes, Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai defeated Delhi thrice and the latter emerged victorious only once. Both sides have met once in the current season as they locked horns in the season opener. In that match as well, Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. continued their dominance and defeated the previous year’s finalists in Bengaluru. Considering statistics as well as their current form, Mumbai are favourites to defeat the hosts and extend their record tally to 4-1.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Arun Jaitley Stadium of New Delhi is set to host its first match of the second edition of the Women’s Premier League.

The average first-inning score of the stadium is 110.8, and it is likely to be somewhere between 130-140 in the upcoming match between DC-W and MI-W. The powerplay score of the match is expected to be between 35 and 45.
