The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 action continues with a high-voltage clash as the defending champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), lock horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday, January 11, 2026. This match marks a significant moment for Delhi, as it will be their first game of the season and will witness the leadership debut of star batter Jemimah Rodrigues.
Match Preview: MI Seeks Redemption, DC Eyes Strong Start
Mumbai Indians are coming into this contest on the back of a nail-biting last-ball defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the tournament opener on Friday. Despite the loss, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side found several positives. The explosive batting of Sajana Sajeevan and a handy bowling spell from Amelia Kerr were notable highlights that MI will look to build upon. They will be eager to bounce back quickly and register their first points on the board.
For the Delhi Capitals, this is the beginning of their WPL 2026 campaign. All eyes will be on Jemimah Rodrigues, who takes over the captaincy reins. She will lead a powerful squad featuring the likes of Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp, and Laura Wolvaardt. The team will be without the services of Annabel Sutherland, replaced by the experienced Alana King, adding a potent spin option to their attack.
