DCW vs MIW Team Previews
Delhi Capitals Women
The Delhi Capitals were among the most consistent teams last season, winning 6 of their 8 matches. As a result, the team finished at the top of the points table and got a direct entry to the Finals.
While the Capitals have managed to retain most of their core team, they have also injected fresh talent into the squad as they look to put up an even better performance this year. Meg Lanning, who was the leading run-scorer of last year will once again lead the team.
She, along with Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Varma makes for a formidable top order. Marizanne Kapp was excellent in the recent ODI series against Australia W and will be joined by Annabel Sutherland and Jess Jonassen in the middle order.
The Capitals have plenty of variety in the bowling lineup thanks to the all-rounders mentioned above. Titas Sadhu, Arundhati Reddy, Shikha Pandey, and Ashwini Kumari will feature in the pace attack, while Alice Capsey will lead the spin department and will be supported by Radha Yadav, Poonam Yadav, and Jess Jonassen.
Delhi Capitals Women Playing 11
Marizanne Kapp, Shikha Pandey, Radha Yadav, Taniya Bhatia, Minnu Mani, Alice Capsey, Meg Lanning, Annabel Sutherland, Jemimah Rodrigues, Arundhati Reddy, Shafali Verma.
Mumbai Indians Women
Just like the Delhi Capitals, the Mumbai Indians won 6 of the 8 matches played during the group stage. However, they missed the top spot due to an inferior NRR. Nevertheless, the team put up an excellent performance in the knockouts to lift the title.
Just like the previous season, the Mumbai Indians have bet heavily on the all-rounders. Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt were among the top 5 run-getters last season and also picked up plenty of wickets. Amelia Kerr also played an important role with the ball while scoring important runs.
They will be joined by Harmanpreet Kaur to make up a formidable batting unit. While the team has plenty of options when it comes to spin, they are a bit short when it comes to seam attack. The Mumbai Indians have tried to bridge the gap by roping in Shabnim Ismail but they lack quality Indian pacers.
Mumbai Indians Women Playing 11
Shabnim Ismail, Natalie Sciver, Amelia Kerr, Sathyamoorthy Keerthana, Amanjot Kaur, Saika Ishaque, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Pooja Vastrakar, Yastika Bhatia, Sajeevan Sajana.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Bangalore has traditionally been a high-scoring venue and we can expect a similar pitch for this match.

The outfield is quick and the batters will be able to play the big shots with ease. The team batting first will aim for the 200-run mark.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Bonus Cricket Bets
The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is excellent to bat on. With both teams featuring quality batters, we are expecting to see at least one high-scoring over.
Both, Delhi and Mumbai, are quality batting teams. 4 of the top 5 run-scorers for the last season came from either Mumbai or Delhi. We are therefore expecting at least one of them to play a big inning in this match.
Meg Lanning was the leading run-getter of the last season, scoring 345 runs in 9 innings. She has shown good form in the recent Women’s National League, scoring 2 half-centuries in 4 innings. We are therefore backing her to be the top batter in this match.
