WPL 2025 - Delhi Capitals - SWOT Analysis

Strength

Looking at last year's performance, Delhi Capitals have not made many changes in their batting squad. The team management knows that their real strength lies in their batting unit where they have seven-time world champion Meg Lanning, who was also the 2nd highest scorer in the league last year. With Meg, India’s local talent Shafali Verma also came out on top as the third-highest run-scorer in the league. Shafali also had a positive outing in the T20 international cricket.

At number 3, Delhi Capitals will rely on Jemimah Rodrigues for the majority of the runs. In the last year, Jemimah Rodrigues has come out as a ferocious middle-order batter who has done well in the Women’s Big Bash League and in international cricket.

Weakness

Delhi Capitals have done the majority of the changes in their middle order. They have bought Scottish wicketkeeper Sarah Bryce for number 4. She will be playing with Kapp and Jonassen in the middle order. However, one thing is to be noted that the trio might not be able to continue the momentum provided by the top order which consists of Lanning, Verma, and Rodrigues.

Another weakness of Delhi Capitals is their unreliable bowling unit. In the previous edition, Marizanne Kapp and Jess Jonassen came out as the top wicket-takers. However, the rest of the bowling unit was inconsistent and if things go the same way, the Capitals might not see a right ending in their camp.

Opportunity

The fresh faces in the team have come out as a big opportunity for the whole team. Niki Prasad, the World Cup star, might get some chances to play for the team during the league for the first time. Nandini Kashyap is another new face on the team and can be used if Sarah Bryce fails to perform at the start of the league.

Threat

Delhi Capitals have retained a similar squad as compared to the last edition. However, the team management has failed to realise that they are relying on to win matches on international stars. There are very less domestic names in the team and if the overseas stars fail to perform, Delhi Capitals might lose momentum and the whole pressure will come on the local talent.
