Transfers
Transfers Made: 1| Transfers Remaining: 7
1) Sophie Molineux (BOWL) (RCB) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Meg Lanning (BAT) (DC) (10.5 Credits) - IN
2) Yastika Bhatia (MI) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Shabnam Shakil (BOWL) (GG) (5 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer)
With two playoff matches up ahead, I am somewhat conserving my remaining transfers for those games, making just one transfer for this one. It makes all the more sense to keep it down to that number as any player I remove from the MI-RCB game only leaves me short on options when the two sides are likely to meet in the very next game.
After RCB's dominant win over MI, the latter's net run rate (NRR) has dropped drastically, and it's very likely that the Delhi Capitals directly qualify for the finals, with MI and RCB battling it out the Eliminator.
With all the above in mind, I'm electing to bring Meg Lanning in as my regular transfer, with the DC captain likely to score a half-century after missing out in the last match. I will consider getting Marizanne Kapp instead, but she's likely to be rested.
Since I already have Tanuja Kanwar on the team, young seamer Shabnam Shakil is my uncapped transfer for Sophie Molineux.

Players playing in Match 20: Tanuja Kanwar (ALL) (GG) (7 Credits), Beth Mooney (WK) (GG) (10.5 Credits), Jess Jonassen (DC) (9.5 Credits), Shafali Verma (DC) (10 Credits), Meg Lanning (BAT) (DC) (10.5 Credits), and Shabnam Shakil (BOWL) (GG) (5 Credits).
The three Australian players look to be the primary contenders for the captaincy, with Jess Jonassen's multiple routes to points giving her a slight edge over Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney.
