Delhi Capitals are set to face a challenging doubleheader as they take on Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in back-to-back matches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025.
Following a dominant six-wicket win in their previous outing, DC Head Coach Jonathan Batty praised the team’s improved performance while acknowledging room for further refinement. “It was a much better performance, but there is still some room for improvement. We were sharper, more precise, and it was a great all-round team effort,” Batty said.
Back-to-Back Challenges for Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals will first clash with Mumbai Indians on Friday before locking horns with RCB the next day. Batty addressed the challenge of playing consecutive matches, stating, “Playing back-to-back games is tough physically, but if you are in good form, it’s great to keep the momentum going. We are managing the players’ workload while focusing on delivering strong performances in both games.”
DC narrowly edged Mumbai Indians in their first encounter of WPL 2025, securing a thrilling last-ball victory by two wickets. However, MI currently leads the points table, with Delhi Capitals in second place, making this an intense top-of-the-table battle.
Batty: ‘Our Fate is in Our Hands’
Speaking about the crucial contest against MI, Batty emphasized the need for precision. “All teams are well-balanced this season. MI are strong competitors, and we must be at our best to secure a win.”
With playoffs in sight, Batty remains confident in the team’s ability to control their destiny. “Our fate is in our hands. We need to keep winning every single game,” he concluded.
Delhi Capitals will look to capitalize on their recent momentum and maintain their strong position in WPL 2025 with decisive performances against Mumbai Indians and RCB.
