The highly anticipated match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians is set to take place on February 28, 2025, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams have shown impressive performances in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, making this encounter a thrilling one.
Delhi Capitals, led by captain Meg Lanning, have had a strong start to the season, winning three out of five matches. Their recent victory over Gujarat Giants was particularly notable, with Jess Jonassen’s explosive 61* off 32 balls being the highlight. Key players like Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, and Annabel Sutherland will be crucial in their quest for another win.
Mumbai Indians, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, have also performed well, securing three wins out of four matches. Their last win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru was a thrilling four-wicket victory, with Harmanpreet Kaur‘s 50 off 38 balls leading the charge. Players like Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, and Amanjot Kaur will be pivotal in their strategy against Delhi Capitals.
The head-to-head record between these two teams is evenly matched, with each having won three matches out of six. Their last encounter in WPL 2025 saw Delhi Capitals secure a thrilling two-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for its high-scoring pitches, providing consistent bounce and small boundaries that favour batters. However, there might be some assistance for pacers in the initial overs.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is celebrated for its batting-friendly conditions, especially in T20 matches. The pitch provides a consistent bounce, enabling batters to execute their shots with confidence. The short boundaries amplify scoring opportunities, frequently leading to high-scoring matches. Generally, teams batting first strive to score over 180 runs, capitalizing on these favourable conditions. Although fast bowlers might receive some initial assistance, spinners often gain more traction as the game progresses and the pitch becomes drier. Consequently, teams typically opt to bat first after winning the toss to establish a robust target for their opponents.
