In Delhi Capitals' previous game, Meg Lanning was the standout performer for the side as the skipper played a stunning knock of 55 runs in 41 deliveries, helping the team reach 163 runs against UP Warriorz. Despite the low-quality show with the bat, the Delhites showcased their skills with the ball. Jess Jonassen and Radha Yadav registered three wickets each to their name. DC won the match by 25 runs.
On the other hand, even Mumbai Indians will be entering with a win in their last match against Royal Challengers Banglore. Nat Sciver-Brunt took charge in the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur. Brunt and Pooja Vastrakar's spells restricted RCB to 131 runs in the first essay. Amelia Kerr single-handedly played an unbeaten knock of 40 runs and helped the side win the match by seven wickets against Banglore.
