MUM-W vs DEL-W: Kotambi Stadium Pitch Report for WPL 2025

Mumbai Indians Women are already one of the favourites of the tournament and are currently one of the most balanced teams who will look to bounce back and win their second WPL title after missing out on the playoffs last season and failing to defend their title. It is safe to say that Harmanpreet Kaur and her star-studded squad will be up for the challenge.

Delhi Capitals Women, on the other hand, are still looking for their first title. They have reached the finals twice in a row but have not been able to reach the final in the WPL. Meg Lanning will be hoping to win the title and she would want to get off to a good start against a strong Mumbai team filled with several match-winners.

Kotambi Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara assisted the batsmen a lot in the first WPL match of the season between RCB and Gujarat Giants. Both teams crossed the 200-run mark, which shows the batsman-friendly behaviour of the track.

The scoring rate stood at 10.46, while the bowlers of both teams managed to take only nine wickets in both innings combined. While there won’t be significant seam movement for the pacers, spinners might get turned throughout the match. Having said that, it is expected to be a great batting track, and the pitch behaviour is unlikely to change over time, so the captain winning the toss might choose to bowl first.
