by Match 3 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Season 4 will be played between Mumbai Indians Women (MIW) and Delhi Capitals Women (DCW) at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.

Pitch Report – Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy
The pitch at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai is generally considered favorable for chasing. After the initial 6–10 overs, there’s minimal assistance for pacers, making it easier for batters to play their shots.
Although a layer of South African soil has been used on this surface to make it livelier, historical data shows that chasing teams usually have the upper hand at this venue.
Match Prediction – MIW vs DCW
The Mumbai Indians Women will enter this game like wounded tigers after their narrow loss to RCB Women. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have made several structural changes, and their decision not to retain Meg Lanning has been viewed by many experts as a major gamble.
This contest will serve as a litmus test for Jemimah Rodrigues’ leadership against an experienced captain like Harmanpreet Kaur. Based on team balance and recent form, Mumbai Indians Women are the favorites to win this match.
