Get ready for a thrilling encounter as Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians lock horns in the 7th match of the Women’s Premier League 2023 (WPL 2023) at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai on March 9, 2023. With both teams boasting a perfect record so far, this match promises to be a cracker.

Delhi Capitals are currently placed second in the standings and have won both their games comfortably. They started their campaign with a resounding 60-run victory over RCB. Thanks to a commanding knock of 70 runs from their skipper, Meg Lanning in their last game against UP Warriorz, Delhi Capitals once again posted an imposing total of 211/4, courtesy of a late surge from Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, and Jess Jonassen. Defending the total, Delhi Capitals bowlers, led by Jess Jonassen’s three-wicket haul, made sure that UP Warriorz fell 42 runs short.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are at the top of the table with two convincing victories. In their opening game against Gujarat Giants, they registered a thumping 143-run victory after bundling out their opponents for just 64 runs. In their last match against RCB, Mumbai Indians restricted their opponents to a modest total of 155 runs, thanks to a brilliant bowling display led by Hayley Matthews, who picked up three wickets. During the chase, Hayley Matthews was unstoppable as she smashed 77 not out off just 38 balls, guiding Mumbai Indians to a comfortable nine-wicket victory.

Delhi Capitals will be relying on their captain Meg Lanning, who has been in superb form, scoring back-to-back half-centuries. Jemimah Rodrigues and Alice Capsey have also looked good with the bat, while Jess Jonassen has been impressive with both bat and ball. In contrast, Mumbai Indians will bank on their all-round strength, with Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver, and Amelia Kerr leading the way.

WPL 2023: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, Match 7 – Pitch Report and Weather Forecast

The DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai typically offers a good batting track with even bounce and a decent amount of pace and carry for the fast bowlers. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, making it slightly difficult for the batsmen to play their shots. The spinners may come into play as the game progresses and the pitch begins to wear out. Overall, the pitch should be conducive to stroke play, but the team winning the toss may want to bat first and put up a challenging total on the board.

The temperature is likely to be around 27 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels around 60-70%. There is a possibility of dew later in the evening, which could make it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball. However, there is no significant chance of rain, and the game should be played under clear skies.
