MI-W vs DC-W, 18th Match Preview

Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals go head to head in Match 18 of the Women’s Premier League at the DY Patil Stadium on Monday evening. Mumbai Indians were beaten in their last game but remain top of the table. Delhi Capitals are in second place, two points behind. Although they fell to defeat for the first time in this campaign on Saturday, Mumbai Indians have been brilliant with both bat and ball across the tournament. We expect them to bounce back in this game. After an 11-run defeat on Thursday, we expect to see Delhi Capitals produce a better display in this match. However, it may not be enough to beat this strong Mumbai Indians team.
