Weather Report

Heatwaves have taken over Mumbai but there is no rain predicted on the match day, which is a good thing.

Mumbai Indians Team Form

Mumbai Indians won the first five games of the season but lost the next two matches before making a comeback in their last league game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They backed that up with yet another win against UP Warriorz in the play-off and they know that toppling the Meg Lanning-led side wouldn’t be impossible for them.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Head-To-Head

Both sides have faced each other twice in the tournament already and each registered one win. Both the games were one-sided as Mumbai comfortably beat Delhi by eight wickets in the first fixture. In the reverse fixture, Delhi took revenge on Mumbai and won convincingly by nine wickets. Delhi bowlers were on top of the game and restricted Mumbai to a mere 108 in the first Innings. Delhi started the chase on an aggressive note and chased down the target in nine overs and moved to the top of the table replacing Mumbai Indians.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Betting Odds

We have done proper research for you to find out the best betting odds available in the market to simplify your research for the final match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League Eliminator match, set to take place on Sunday.

DC Opneing partnership under 23.5 runs @ 1.91 (Melbet)

Mumbai Indians have been the best bowling attack in the competition and have registered the most wickets – 69, at the lowest economy rate – 6.7. Moreover, MI have maintained a far better average of balls per wickets and average runs per wickets amongst all teams. That would make the lives of Delhi Capitals batter difficult, especially of Shafali Verma, who has blown hot and cold throughout the season.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Best Batters

Matthews to be MI’s best batter (Melbet)

Mumbai opener Hayley Matthews has shown decent form in the WPL 2023 and has scored 258 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 127 while averaging 32.3. The opener has managed scores of 32(31) and 5(10) against DC in the league stage matches. That makes it apparent that we would be banking on her for the season.

Lanning to be DC’s best batter (Melbet)

Captain Meg Lanning has been a consistent scorer for her team Delhi Capitals and finished as the highest run-getter in the league stage of WPL 2023. The ace batter scored 72 and 70 runs in the first two matches respectively. However, the batter has failed to score a fifty from then. Nevertheless, Meg Lanning was not dismissed even once before scoring in double digits. Furthermore, Lanning has scored 43 and 21* against MI in league-stage matches.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians Best Bowlers

Matthews to be MI’s best bowler (Melbet)

Hayley Matthews has been effective with the ball in hand throughout the season and has registered as many as 13 wickets in nine games at an economy of 6.6. The bowler returned figures of 1/27 and 3/19 in the league stage games against DC and what better way to celebrate her than trusting her to do the job again.

Kapp to be DC’s best bowler (Melbet)

The South African all-rounder has been a good asset for Delhi Capitals with both bat and ball. In six innings, Kapp has scored 159 runs at an impressive average of 53. With the ball in hand, the medium pacer picked up nine wickets in eight games at an impressive economy of 5.8, including a five-wicket haul to her name. Kapp has a decent record while bowling against MI batters in WT20s.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Mumbai Indians

There isn’t a huge gap between the odds provided by Melbet for both teams but if you carefully observe that is kind of natural. Even though Delhi Capitals made it to the finals of the event directly, we would highly recommend you bet on Mumbai Indians to secure an 80% premium for the bet and that is a very good one.
