    WPL 2026: Deeya, Vaishnavi Debut As DC Elect To Bowl Against MI

    Delhi Capitals Women: Three-time finalists Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field against defending champion Mumbai Indians in the 13th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday.

    While the Mumbai Indians have made several changes to their playing XI, the Delhi Capitals have only made one adjustment. They handed a debut to 16-year-old Deeya Yadav in place of Mennu Mani. G Kamalini has been ruled out of the tournament after picking up an injury, with Vaishnavi Sharma coming in as her replacement. The left-arm spinner will make her debut today. Hayley Matthews also returns to the squad, with the conditions expected to suit her style of play.

    Delhi Capitals Women captain Jemimah Rodrigues said, "We would like to bowl first. Under the lights, the ball skids on, and the bounce is a little bit low. Playing through the line will work well on this pitch. As bowlers, we will need to keep it at the stumps. We know we need to win, but our focus is on the process. If we take care of it, the rest will fall in place. Diya comes in place of Meenu Mani. She is 16, yet she can smack the ball out of the park."
