Meg Lanning Leads from the Front as DCW Dominate MIW

Delhi Capitals Women continued their impressive run in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 with a resounding 9-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians Women at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. With a clinical all-round performance, DCW chased down a modest target of 124 with ease, keeping their stronghold in the tournament intact. Skipper Meg Lanning played a captain’s knock, remaining unbeaten on 60 off 49 balls, ensuring a comfortable win for her side.

MIW Struggle to 123/9 as DCW Bowlers Shine

Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Delhi Capitals Women put up a disciplined bowling effort, restricting Mumbai Indians Women to a below-par total of 123/9 in 20 overs. The MIW innings never gained momentum, as frequent wickets halted their progress.

Yastika Bhatia (11 off 10) fell early, followed by a struggling Hayley Matthews (22 off 25), who couldn’t accelerate at the top. Despite brief contributions from Nat Sciver-Brunt (18 off 22) and Harmanpreet Kaur (22 off 16), MIW failed to build significant partnerships.

All-rounder Amelia Kerr (17 off 18) and Amanjot Kaur (17 off 10)* attempted to salvage the innings, but DCW’s bowlers kept the pressure on. Jess Jonassen (3/25) and Minnu Mani (3/17) were the pick of the bowlers, dismantling MIW’s batting lineup with their accurate spells.

DCW Chase with Authority, Lanning and Verma Star

Chasing 124, Delhi Capitals Women got off to a fiery start, with Shafali Verma (43 off 28) playing an explosive innings. She set the tone early with aggressive stroke play, smashing boundaries at will. Despite her dismissal in the 10th over, DCW remained on track, thanks to a composed innings from their leader.

Meg Lanning’s unbeaten 60 guided Delhi to victory in just 14.3 overs, ensuring they maintained their dominance in the league. Jemimah Rodrigues (15 off 10)* provided solid support as DCW comfortably sealed the win with 39 balls to spare.

Bowling Excellence Seals the Win for DCW

Delhi Capitals' bowlers played a crucial role in setting up the win. Jess Jonassen’s 3-wicket haul was pivotal, while Minnu Mani (3/17) and Shikha Pandey (1/16) backed her up well. Their combined efforts choked MIW’s batting lineup, ensuring they never got the chance to post a challenging total.

On the other hand, MIW’s bowlers struggled to contain DCW’s aggressive approach. Amanjot Kaur (1/12) was the only wicket-taker for Mumbai, as none of the other bowlers managed to make an impact.
