MI vs DC, WPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

Mumbai Indians Women (MI) and Delhi Capitals Women (DC) are all set to lock horns in Match No. 18 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Monday, March 20. The Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai will host the contest.

Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, became the first team to advance to the playoffs. They will now be looking to cement their spot in the top two and qualify for the final. A victory in their next game will help them finish as table-toppers.

But if they lose, they will be in danger of dropping out of the top spot. Having won five matches in a row, MI lost their first game against UP Warriorz on Saturday after the match went right down to the wire. Beating the Capitals isn’t expected to be easy.

The Capitals, on the other hand, will give themselves a great chance of finishing as the table-toppers if they manage to beat MI in their penultimate league game. But a loss would pit them against one of UP Warriorz, RCB and Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator.

The Capitals are currently placed second in the table with eight points and a net run rate of +1.431. They will go into the game after losing to the Giants by 11 runs. After being asked to chase down 148, the Capitals were bowled out for 136 in 18.4 overs.
