MI W vs DC W: Mumbai Indians Women will play Delhi Capitals Women in the WPL 2026 on January 10 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This game is important for Delhi because Jemimah Rodrigues will lead the team as captain for the first time.
The Mumbai Indians are captained by Harmanpreet Kaur. They lost their first match by a small margin and will look to bounce back. Players like Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, Shabnim Ismail, and Nicola Carey will play a big role. Hayley Matthews could return if she is fit, which may change the team combination.
Delhi Capitals will likely start with Laura Wolvaardt at the top instead of Meg Lanning. Shafali Verma and Wolvaardt are expected to open. Marizanne Kapp and Chinelle Henry are the main fast bowlers. Taniya Bhatia will keep wickets, though she has not had many chances to bat.
The DY Patil pitch usually helps batters early in the game. Teams batting second have won most matches here, with 9 wins in 12 games. Dew comes in late, but teams have still managed to defend scores at night.
The weather on January 10 will be clear and sunny. There is no rain expected. Temperatures will stay between 19°C and 30°C. Wind will be light to moderate, and conditions will remain comfortable throughout the match.
MI W vs DC W: What to Expect?
Mumbai Indians may shuffle their playing XI if Hayley Matthews is available. The team includes Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, Nicola Carey, S. Sajana, and Shabnim Ismail.
Delhi Capitals will be led by Jemimah Rodrigues. The squad features Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt, Marizanne Kapp, Niki Prasad, Chinelle Henry, and Taniya Bhatia. The main selection call will be between Nandani Sharma and Minnu Mani.
Amelia Kerr and Marizanne Kapp could be the game changers. Kerr is coming after a T20 hundred and has also been taking wickets regularly. Kapp’s bowling at the death overs could be crucial for Delhi.
