Mumbai Indians Preview: Strong core of players
Mumbai Indians are back with the same core group that have played out the last two WPL tournaments in the famous MI blue. Batter Harmanpreet Kaur captains the side with all-rounders Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews expected to be crucial in the overseas department. They are also led by a proven winner in Charlotte Edwards, who boasts WPL, WBBL and Hundred titles to her name as a head coach.
Delhi Capitals Preview: Spoiled for choice on batting front
When considering the batting talent at their disposal, there’s no reason to think why Delhi Capitals can’t make it ‘third time’s a charm’ and take that extra step which sees them finally claim WBBL glory. Shafali Verma, Meg Lanning, Jemimah Rodrigues and Annabel Sutherland being a potential top four in any order is a mouth-watering prospect.
Mumbai Indians Betting Analysis
No doubt wanting to get stuck into the action at Mumbai Indians following a humiliating Ashes tour with England that saw them swept by Australia, Natalie Sciver-Brunt will want to make a big impact here with it be with bat or ball. Her bat is probably what bettors should focus more on with her likely to be among MI’s top four on a good batting surface. Therefore, back Sciver-Brunt to pick up 20+ runs.
Delhi Capitals Betting Analysis
Staying with the recently concluded Ashes series, Annabel Sutherland was excellent for Australia and her momentum could well carry her form into this competition, despite the vast change in scenery and conditions. She’s an outstanding cricketer and one of the best batters in the world already despite being just 23-years-old and a stake on her via the ‘Team - Top Batter’ market feels like a shrewd move.
Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Expert Prediction
Based on what we saw between Gujarat Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the pitch should be an excellent batting surface, which is likely to play into Delhi Capitals’ hands slightly more than that of Mumbai Indians. Delhi’s top four is capable of outscoring any team in the competition on their day and provided their bowling remains tight and disciplined, the Capitals may just edge this one.
