Mumbai Indians return to the field on Saturday with plenty to fix as they take on Delhi Capitals in their second match of the Women’s Premier League 2026 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The defending champions are coming off a tough last-ball defeat and will be eager to get their campaign back on track.
Mumbai’s early worries after RCB loss
Mumbai’s opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru raised a few red flags. The top order struggled to cope with pressure, collapsing early and leaving the middle order to do the rescue act. Sajana Sajeevan and Nicola Carey added late runs to make the total competitive, but the damage had already been done.

Fielding proved equally costly. In the penultimate over, Mumbai handed RCB’s Nadine de Klerk three chances in four balls — lapses that eventually turned the game on its head as RCB sealed victory in the final over. For a side known for sharp fielding, it was an unusually sloppy display.
Delhi Capitals step in with a fresh start
Delhi Capitals begin their WPL 2026 journey with this clash. The team will be led by Jemimah Rodrigues, marking a new chapter for the franchise. Delhi will look to start fast, especially against a Mumbai side still searching for rhythm.
With no match behind them this season, Delhi’s focus will be on settling quickly and making the most of early opportunities against the defending champions.
What’s at stake tonight
Mumbai need a stronger start with the bat and tighter execution in the field. Delhi, on the other hand, will aim to exploit Mumbai’s recent weaknesses and stamp authority early in the tournament. The DY Patil pitch is expected to favour batters, with pace on offer under lights.
With points on the line and momentum at stake, this MI vs DC clash could shape the early narrative of WPL 2026.
