MI vs DC, WPL 2026: MI Dominate DC With 50 Run Victory

MI vs DC in WPL 2026 offers an outstanding performance by the Mumbai Indians by beating the Delhi Capitals by 50 runs in the match that went forth in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. The superb batting performance by Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt and the remarkable joint performance by the MI bowlers help MI overcome this hurdle.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Sciver-Brunt Power MI to Big Total

Batting first after Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl, Mumbai Indians posted an imposing 195/4 in 20 overs. Despite an early setback Amelia Kerr falling for a golden duck MI quickly regained momentum.

The turning point came through a sensational partnership between Nat Sciver-Brunt (70 off 46 balls) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (74 off 42 balls). The two launched a counter-attack that wiped out the DC bowling unit and turned the match firmly in MI’s favour.

Sciver-Brunt’s dismissal brought more action from Harmanpreet as she launched a rapid partnership with Nicola Carey. The MI captain displayed her finishing skills as Mumbai scored 19 runs in the final over with four boundaries being crashed. Harmanpreet finished unbeaten as she ensured that her side reaches close to the total of 200 runs.

DC Bowlers: Mixed Day at the Office

For Delhi Capitals, Nandani has impressed in her first match of the WPL, taking two wickets. Nevertheless, the DC bowling lineup struggled to restrict the MI middle order, particularly in the death overs, on that batting-friendly surface.

Delhi Capitals’ Chase Falters Under Pressure

Chasing 196, Delhi Capitals never really regained momentum after being struck hard early on. Nat Sciver-Brunt was quick to take a wicket, followed by Nicola Carey who tore down the top-order of DC, taking down Shafali Verma and Laura Wolvaardt.

A mind-blowing one-handed catch by Kamalini helped Ismail take down Jemimah Rodrigues. Carey finished off her three-wicket over by dismissing Marizanne Kapp.

Chinelle Henry’s Resistance Comes Too Late

In the midst of the collapse, Chinelle Henry (56) has shown some courage in forging partnerships with Niki Prasad (12) and Sneh Rana (11). Nonetheless, the required rate of run-scoring and the struggling tail-end resistance were just too much for the Delhi Capitals.

Kerr and Carey Seal MI’s Dominant Victory

The Mumbai Indians bowlers continued to apply pressure on the batting DC side. Amelia Kerr joined the party to remove three DC batswomen, thereby restricting DC to the same score of 145 in 19 overs. The last wicket to Nandani saw the Mumbai Indians emerge victorious.
