DC’s Fate in Their Hands: MI & RCB Challenge Awaits

Bengaluru, 27 February 2025 – The Delhi Capitals (DC), co-owned by JSW and GMR, are gearing up for a crucial back-to-back challenge in the WPL 2025. They first take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, followed by a clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) the very next day. With momentum on their side after a commanding six-wicket victory in their previous match, DC is determined to continue their winning run.

Reflecting on the team's most recent performance, Head Coach Jonathan Batty expressed his satisfaction while emphasizing room for growth. “It was a much better performance, but there’s still room for improvement. The team came together more effectively, sharpened their execution, and delivered a strong all-round display,” he stated.

With two high-intensity games scheduled back-to-back, the challenge extends beyond just strategy. Batty acknowledged the physical toll but remains optimistic. “Playing consecutive matches is tough, but if you’re in good form, it can be beneficial. We are managing the players' workload carefully while aiming to maintain our form against MI and RCB,” he added.

The upcoming clash against MI is set to be a thrilling battle. DC secured a nail-biting last-ball win against MI in their opening encounter in Vadodara, but their opponents now sit at the top of the WPL 2025 points table, with DC following closely in second place. Batty is well aware of the challenge ahead. “All teams are well-balanced this season. MI is a formidable side, and we need to be at our absolute best to compete with them,” he remarked.

Despite the pressure, Batty remains steadfast in his belief in the squad. “Our fate is in our hands. We must focus on winning every game and keeping our momentum going,” he concluded.

With DC set for intense battles against MI and RCB, fans can expect two thrilling contests as they aim for the top of the table in WPL 2025. Will DC rise to the occasion and take the lead? Stay tuned for the action-packed weekend ahead!
