MIW vs DCW Reddy Anna Book Match Prediction & Analysis
At Reddy Anna Book Mumbai Indians Women were knocked out in the Eliminator last year. They will begin their Women’s Premier League 2025 season at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara against Delhi Capitals.
The Capitals lost in the Final against RCB Women after being bowled out for 113 runs batting first. It was a pretty one-sided affair. Both teams have retained most of their key players from last season.
Some of the major squad changes are Nadine de Klerk joining MI Women while DC Women welcome Sarah Bryce to their squad for this season.
Delhi Capitals have a solid bowling attack with Jess Jonassen and Radha Yadav along with all-rounders like Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland.
MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur leads a squad with 13 all-rounders and no specialist batters. That gives her plenty of options to form a balanced XI with depth in the batting lineup.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Mumbai Indians Preview
Harmanpreet Kaur and co. are all set to kick off their WPL 2025 campaign. They will be up against Delhi Capitals Women in their opening match in Vadodara.
This squad is dominated by all-rounders. It gives the skipper a lot of bowling options in the side to choose from. Amelia Kerr and Nat Sciver-Brunt are key players in the middle order along with the skipper.
The middle-order packs a lot of strength while the West Indies captain Hayley Matthews brings experience and the ability to play long innings at the top. This is one of the best batting lineups in WPL.
Matthews is also a crucial figure in the bowling department. She’s one of the consistent wicket-takers and will be one to watch out for. Shabnim Ismail and Pooja Vastrakar will lead the bowling attack.
They’ve got other options in the squad like bowling all-rounders Nat-Sciver Brunt and Amelia Kerr who can deliver a few key breakthroughs in the middle overs.
Overall, it is one of the best squads in the WPL 2025. We expect Mumbai Indians Women to come out all guns blazing and put on a great show.
Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI:
Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, S Sajana, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Saika Ishaque
Delhi Capitals Preview
It was a disappointing end to DC Women’s 2024 WPL campaign. They were completely outplayed by the opposition. Meg Lanning will be looking for a winning start to this season.
The Capitals have retained most of their key batters. With Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and the skipper herself, DC have a strong top order.
Much like the opposition, Delhi Capitals Women also have a star-studded batting lineup. At number 4, there is Alice Capsey, a reliable middle-order batter who’s consistently scored impactful knocks for England.
She is followed by bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp who can score quick runs at the death and help DC Women finish on a high. The batting order will mostly look like the previous season.
South Africa’s Shabnim Ismail will lead the bowling attack for DC Women. Left-arm orthodox Jess Jonassen is another overseas bowler who can make a huge difference.
In addition, there are the bowling all-rounders Sciver-Brunt, Capsey, and Pooja Vastrakar who will add variety to this bowling attack.
Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia (wk), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, S Sajana, Pooja Vastrakar, Shabnim Ismail, Keerthana Balakrishnan, Saika Ishaque

Average Turn
There is not much known about this pitch since only a few games were played here. The ODIs were high-scoring with the average 1st innings score in 3 matches being 278 runs. And though the T20 game was a low-scoring affair, we believe this will be a high-scoring match.

Though the team batting first won the solitary T20 match played here, we believe bowling first would be a better option in this match. Both teams have great depth in their batting lineup and chasing a total will be a better option for them. The playing conditions are also likely to help the chasing team.
MIW vs DCW
Winning Prediction
It will be a close contest between two well-matched teams. There is plenty of firepower in both batting lineups and the number of all-rounders adds variety to the bowling attack as well. However, we think MI’s middle and lower middle order is slightly better than that of DC. Mumbai Indians Women will have a slight edge going into this match.
