The upcoming game will also offer bowlers from both camps to shine, and in this article, we take a shot at predicting three bowlers who could pick up the most wickets in the seventh match between MI and DC.
#3 Amelia Kerr - MI
Saika Ishaque and Amelia Kerr have been unplayable tonight 🫡
Yeh raha proof 👇😉

While her batting skills are second to none, Amelia Kerr's bowling performances have been more than decent in WPL 2023 so far. The Kiwi off-spinner has picked up two wickets in as many matches for MI while leaking runs at only 7.41 along with a bowling average of 10.5.
Kerr's varied line and length have caused trouble for the opposition batters so far and the 22-year-old will try to be amongst wickets once again tonight.
#2 Tara Norris - DC
Star of the show for DC in their opening fixture, Tara Norris created history as she took a five-wicket haul against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. She claimed superlative figures of 5/29 to become the first-ever player from an associate nation (USA) to claim a fifer in either the WPL or the Indian Premier League (IPL).
After her heroics, however, Norris went wicketless in the next game against UP Warriorz and leaked 25 runs in just two overs.
The young left-arm pacer will look to prove her mettle against Mumbai, giving Delhi a chance to count on the advantage of fielding five foreigners.
#1 Saika Ishaque - MI
Saika Ishaque, picked by Mumbai Indians for 10 Lakhs in auction has picked 6 wickets from 2 games.
A star in making. https://t.co/VbZl73GNE6
Mumbai Indians' uncanny ability to unearth special talent is a well-documented story and Saika Ishaque seems to be the latest entrant in their talent fest.
The left-arm spinner was the star of the show for MI against Gujarat, claiming the first four-wicket haul in the WPL. She finished the match with figures of 3.1-1-11-4 before scalping two more times in the previous game against Bangalore.
Undoubtedly, she has been a force to be reckoned with so far and will look to replicate her performance against DC as well.
