Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, March 15, 2025
What to expect: two powerful alignments
Is 2023 again? Mi and DC, two consistently good equipment with All-Star alignments, are found again in the WPL final. While DC has become the final this season, my is reaching the battle, after having had to take the tortuous route playing three games in four days to get there.
DC has been strong in most departments, and has received its selection calls throughout the season. His blow of Captain Meg Lanning at the end of the tournament, Shafali Verma has continued to produce the races at the top of the other, and the movement to promote Jess JonSsen al No. 3 has been worth it. But for DC to look more threatening, they would want their intermediate order to advance more. Its average order (nos. 4 to 7) collectively averages 17.50, the most under this season, and has reached 116.66, which is the second lowest among all teams.
The alignment of me also drips with power and strength. PowerPlay Bowling has been one of the strongest DC costumes, but only my has improved it. DC bowling players have taken 50 WICKETS to 23.84 in this phase, while MI has 61 WICKETS at 22.68.
But my play at home, a place where they have lost only once in seven games, and that inclines the balance in their favor. However, DC has had a good seven -day break, and will enter without the pressure of having to fight for a place in the final. Two heartbreaking finals later, will the third time be the charm for them?
Team News: Who will open with Matthews for me?
My had promoted Amelia Kerr to the opening slot, and pushed Yastika Bhatia in order for a couple of games. While Yastika was able to make quick races since her new position, Kerr, who has not been in the best way with the bat, could not capitalize on her beginnings. The order returned to what was in the eliminator against Gujarat Giants (GG), but none of the players had an impact. Will you change your positions again to get the best of Yastika?
My had also brought Saika Ishaque with left arm instead of Parasika sisodia for the eliminator. Will Ishaque pick again for the final after she was just a against GG?
Mumbai Indians (Probable): 1 Hayley Matthews, 2 Amelia Kerr, 3 Nat Sciver-Brunt, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur (Capt), 5 Amanjot Kaur, 6 Yastika Bhatia (WK), 7 S Sajana, 8 g kamalini, 9 Sanskriti Gupta, 10 Shabnim Ismail, 11 Saika is that it is used
It is unlikely that DC, to be in the last in action on March 7, make changes in your alignment.
Players to see: Jemimah Rodrigues and Hayley Matthews
Jemimah Rodrigues He has supported a thin season with the bat. She has only a fifty, which arrived in a loss, in six innings that include three scores of a single digit and a duck. Rodrigues has fallen to number 4 to accommodate Jonassen at the top, which has done heavy work. She will seek to cause greater impression in her hometown in the most important match of the tournament. However, Rodrigues’ field has been first category throughout the season.
Hayley Matthews found appropriate Form with the bat in the eliminator, but it is its bowling alley that has stood out throughout the tournament. It is currently the best for the Wickt, with 17 WICKETS to an average of 15.88, and has succeeded in all phases of the tournament as highlighted by its performance in the eliminator. In the 2023 final, Matthews had launched an extraordinary 3 -year spell for 5 in his four overs, which included the Jonasen Wickt, and played a crucial role in the victory for the title of me in the brabourne stadium.
SCIVER-BRUNT is three routes to become the first 1000 WPL Carreras player. There is also seven leaves to become the first player in the WPL to count 500 races in a single season.
Rodrigues, Jonassen and Shikha Pandey will play their fifth final of the tournament as teammates in the franchise leagues in the last two years.
Lanning has won all international titles in his career. In 2024, he won his first franchise title with London Spirit in The Women’s one. The WBBL will be the only tournament to make Lanning win if DC win on Saturday.
