After narrowly missing out on the Women’s Premier League title twice, Delhi Capitals will go all out for his or her ‘third time is the charm’ moment once they tackle Mumbai Indians of their third consecutive final of the competition on Saturday at Brabourne Stadium.
Delhi Capitals, led by Meg Lanning, are coming off a solid league stage, having won five and lost three out of eight matches, ending on top to earn a direct spot in the ultimate.
Speaking about playing in a 3rd consecutive final and in regards to the team’s campaign this season, “It’s really irrelevant what’s happened previously, even what’s happened within the round games this 12 months. They don’t count for anything. It’s about performing tomorrow night. We’re excited in regards to the opportunity that we’ve given ourselves to go on the market and play our greatest game for the tournament.”
“I feel throughout the entire 12 months we’ve had different people step up at different times. I don’t feel like we depend on one or two players, and that provides us a whole lot of confidence heading into tomorrow’s game. Regardless of whose night it’s, we’ll have the option to deliver and really put Mumbai under pressure,” she said while addressing the media in a press conference on the eve of the large game.
When asked about her opening partner Shafali Verma’s form within the season, Lanning said, “She’s been excellent for us. She’s got herself some very nice starts with the bat. She looks like she’s been really having fun with her cricket. A giant smile on her face a whole lot of the time, which is all the time a great sign. She’s an important a part of our team, on and off the sector. I’ve really loved seeing her do well, and little doubt she’s got big innings in her for tomorrow night.”
Speaking about her experience in India playing for Delhi Capitals, Lanning said, “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the WPL and the Delhi Capitals. It’s an incredible competition and it’s unique in a whole lot of ways. But what hasn’t modified for me is how competitive I’m and the way much I would like to win. In order that’s never left me no matter what game I’m playing or which team I’m playing for. I would like to contribute and make as many runs as I can to assist the team win.”
