The second iteration of the Women’s Premier League is set for an electric opening here on Friday with defending champion Mumbai Indians going up against last year’s runner-up Delhi Capitals.
The Meg Lanning-led Capitals lost only three games last season, two of which were against the Harmanpreet Kaur’s MI including the final.
Lanning and Shafali Verma were an endearing pair for the franchise last season with a haul of 479 runs together for the first wicket, including five fifty-plus partnerships.
