Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women, 13th Match

The 13th match of the Women's Premier League 2026 pits Delhi Capitals Women against Mumbai Indians Women at BCA Stadium, Kotambi. Delhi Capitals have demonstrated consistent form this season, winning 3 out of their last 5 matches, buoyed by aggressive top-order batting and a disciplined bowling attack. Mumbai Indians Women, known for their dynamic middle order and death-overs prowess, also share similar momentum with 3 wins and 2 losses in their recent outings. Head-to-head encounters in past WPL seasons have shown Delhi holding a slight edge, having won 4 of their 7 encounters against Mumbai. Key players for Delhi include their top-order batters who have been instrumental in setting or chasing targets, alongside reliable spinners who exploit middle-overs pressure. Mumbai Indians' pace battery led by their star quick has been effective in restricting runs during powerplays, complemented by their finishers who excel under pressure. Strategically, Delhi Capitals may look to capitalize on their strength in spin bowling as the BCA Stadium historically favors slow bowlers. Mumbai Indians, conversely, will rely on their seam attack early on and hope to accelerate through their explosive batting lineup in the death overs. Given the match location, recent team forms, and head-to-head stats, the contest looks finely balanced. However, Delhi’s slight advantage in spin bowling and balanced batting depth gives them an edge going into this encounter.
