The contest brings together two heavyweight sides-MI, the two-time champions, and DC, three-time finalists still chasing their first title.
MI head into the clash after a heartbreaking last-ball defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in their tournament opener. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will be desperate to turn things around quickly and register their first points of the season. But the challenge awaiting them is far from simple.
Delhi Capitals Women begin their campaign under the leadership of Jemimah Rodrigues, who guided India to World Cup glory and now steps into the role previously held by Meg Lanning. Despite consistently reaching the final in each of the past three seasons, Delhi are yet to lift the trophy-a narrative they are determined to change in this edition. A strong start against a formidable MI unit would help them set that tone.
With Mumbai keen to recover from their opening stumble and Delhi aiming to begin with authority, a high-intensity contest is on the cards in Navi Mumbai.
