DC vs MI, WPL Highlights: Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by seven wickets

DC vs MI, WPL Live Score: Under the floodlights at Kotambi Stadium, the Women’s Premier League sets the stage for a compelling clash as Delhi Capitals Women face Mumbai Indians Women in Match 13. It’s a game filled with contrast—one team searching for answers, the other looking to tighten its hold near the top of the table.

Delhi Capitals have endured a tough start to the season, managing just one win from four games and carrying a poor net run-rate. Despite being three-time finalists in past editions, this year they’ve struggled in key moments.


Their latest outing ended in a heavy defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but there were positives. Shafali Verma and Lucy Hamilton showed resilience, rebuilding the innings from a shaky 10 for 4 to post a competitive total. The batting unit has looked decent overall, but collapses at crucial times, and a bowling attack that hasn’t fully clicked have cost them dearly.

Mumbai Indians, the two-time champions, haven’t been flawless either. Injuries, especially to Hayley Matthews, have disrupted their combinations. Their opening partnerships haven’t fired, forcing Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Harmanpreet Kaur to repeatedly rescue the innings.

With the ball, Amelia Kerr has been outstanding and currently leads the wicket charts, though the absence of Shabnim Ismail in the previous game hurt their early overs.

Despite these hiccups, Mumbai sit second on the points table with a positive net run-rate, underlining their ability to manage pressure better than most teams. The pitch in Vadodara is expected to favour batters, and dew could influence tactics, making the toss crucial.

For Delhi, this match represents hope—a chance to reset their season. For Mumbai, it’s about asserting dominance. One spark could change everything.

Much-needed wicket for DC as Carey could have been dangerous at the backend of the innings.

20:42 (IST) Jan 20

STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! Just 4 overs left in the MI innings and they have a real chance to get a score of around or even over 160 runs. The stand between Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt has turned things around nicely for them but with Harman back in the dugout, Nat will look to stay on till the end. Delhi Capitals need their pacers to fire at the death but with Kapp already bowled out and the spinners unable to stem the flow of runs, a lot will ride on the shoulders of Nandni Sharma and Lucy Hamilton. Let's see which team gets that momentum heading into the interval. With that said, Hamilton is back into the attack.

DC vs MI, WPL Live Score: Match 13 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) brings together two teams at very different points in their journey. Delhi Capitals Women are struggling for momentum, sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win from four matches.

Despite the results, they have shown flashes of promise and will be desperate for a performance that finally brings everything together. Mumbai Indians Women, on the other hand, arrive with confidence, sitting second on the table and carrying the tag of favourites.

While they’ve had their own issues with injuries and inconsistent starts, their experience and star power have helped them stay competitive.

Played under lights at Vadodara, this match could prove to be a turning point—either Delhi spark a revival, or Mumbai further strengthen their grip on the tournament. With a batting-friendly pitch and dew likely to play a role, fans can expect an exciting, high-scoring contest.
