The second season of the Women’s Premier League is moving quickly, and our team is gearing up for a significant match against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday. This game marks our fourth in the tournament, and it holds great importance as we seek our first victory after suffering three consecutive losses. While the task of making a comeback seems daunting, we are confident in our ability to turn things around.

Reflecting on our recent match against the UP Warriorz, despite facing a defeat by six wickets, there were some positive performances. Laura Wolvaardt showcased her batting prowess in her debut game, while Ash Gardner returned to form with a strong innings. Additionally, Phoebe Litchfield's contribution provided some encouragement. Tanuja Kanwer continued to impress with her bowling, delivering another fine spell. Now, our focus is on mounting a comeback against the Delhi Capitals.

In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have been on a winning streak lately. Although they faced a tough start, losing their opening match to the Mumbai Indians in a close encounter, they bounced back with consecutive wins against UP Warriors and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Their top-order batters, including Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning, are in formidable form, while Marizanne Kapp has been exceptional with the ball. They pose a significant challenge for us in the upcoming match.

Considering our past encounters with the Delhi Capitals, we have faced them twice, with one victory each. They secured a convincing 10-wicket win in our first clash in 2023, but we responded strongly by defeating them by 11 runs in our subsequent meeting. While they may be considered favourites this time, we are determined to give our best effort and strive for victory. Anticipating an exhilarating contest, we are optimistic about our chances of emerging triumphant.
