Delhi Capitals Women bagged an easy win against Mumbai Indians Women in the Match No. 13 of the WPL 2025 on Friday, February 28. The chase of 124 runs set by Mumbai at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru was made rather easy by the onslaught launched by opener Shafali Verma (43 off 28), with equally good support from Delhi captain Meg Lanning 60 not-out off 49).
Mumbai-based franchise managed 123/9 in the first innings, where Harmanpreet Kaur looked the most impressive batter with her 22 off 16 balls. A late cameo by Amanjot Kaur took them to a subpar total, as DC bowlers wreaked havoc. The Capitals managed an important win in the end where Jess Jonnasen picked up three crucial wickets in the middle.

Talking Points
1. Jonassen send Sciver-Brunt, Kaur, Kamalini back
The left-arm spin of Jess Jonnassen was too hot to handle for the Mumbai side, as she finished with 4-0-25-3 in her spell at Chinnaswamy. She first got the big fish of Mumbai skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, followed by Nat Sciver-Brunt in the 14th over. Then finally in the 18th over, Jonassen returned to crash through the stumps of G Kamalini. She was also the pick of the bowlers for Delhi, and delivered a match-winning performance to set the tone right away. Jonassen also received Player of the Match for her exceptional spell.
2. Shafali finds form
“They (Pakistan) can definitely bounce back by winning against India. Hopefully, they can perform. Pakistan can win the match but the best thing is that it is the perfect platform to give their best. We need to stay at the present moment, the team that absorbs pressure well, and not think and live in the present moment will win…Pakistan played well in patches, but consistency (was) missing. They didn’t play ODIs much, played T20s more,” he added.
3. Delhi top the table
With a thumping win, Delhi dethroned Mumbai to sit at top of the WPL 2025 Points Table with eight points on the back of their fourth victory of the season. DC Women have now solidified their qualification scenario for the WPL 2025 Playoffs after registering a dominating win with nine wickets and 33 balls to spare. The Meg Lanning-led side will be playing Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women and Gujarat Giants Women next, both of the games will be held in the Lucknow leg of the competition.
