Delhi Capitals Women: Two-time finalist Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against former winner Mumbai Indians in the second match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) Season 3 at the Kotambi Stadium here on Saturday. Sarah Bryce and Niki Prasad will make their debut for Delhi Capitals, while Sanskriti Gupta will play her maiden match for Mumbai Indians.
This clash is not just a rematch of the 2023 WPL final but also a repeat of last season's opening match, which ended in a nail-biting last-ball finish. While MI emerged victorious on both occasions, DC have consistently been a strong contender, finishing as runners-up twice and topping the table in both seasons.
Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning said, "We are going to have a bowl. As we saw last night, pretty good wicket and gives us a chance to get together as a team. We have got the bones of a really good team, it is about putting it out as a team. Really good shots and it is about taking wickets. We have had a little bit of sickness going around, so that makes it easy for us. Sarah Bryce and Niki Prasad debut for us."
