Delhi Capitals (DC) Women represent the capital city of India, Delhi, in the Women's Premier League (WPL). They are co-owned by GMR and JSW Group, which are multi-national companies with a sprawling presence in various businesses.

GMR and JSW won the bid for the franchise, spending a huge INR 810 crores, and kept the name as Delhi Capitals, the same as that of the Men's IPL team.

Jonathan Batty serves as the head coach of DC Women. He led Oval Invincibles to titles in the 2021 and 2022 editions of the Women's Hundred.Former cricketers Hemlata Kala and Lisa Keightley are the assistant coaches of the franchise. Biju George is the fielding coach, who works in the same capacity with the Men's IPL team.

In the 2023 WPL auction, DC signed 18 players, including six overseas recruits. Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Shikha Pandey and Radha Yadav are some of the known Indian faces in the squad. Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp and Alice Capsey are the top foreign players for DC.

The franchise had a successful WPL 2023, qualifying for the final in their first attempt at winning the trophy. They grabbed pole position at the end of the league stage, emerging victorious in six of their eight games. Their captain, Lanning, was the top-scorer in the competition, smashing 345 runs in nine innings. Lanning was aided by Shafali, who hammered 252 runs. On the bowling front, Shikha bagged 10 wickets.

Despite a well-rounded performance across departments, they floundered in the summit clash, losing to eventual champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.Ahead of the WPL 2024 auction, they released Aparna Mondal, Jasia Akhter and Tara Norris, who had claimed WPL's first five-for on her debut. They replaced the trio with Annabel Sutherland, Aparna Mondal and Ashwani Kumar.

At WPL 2024, the Delhi Capitals once again attained a top finish at the points table, doing so with six wins at the expense of just two defeats from eight league matches. However, for the second time in succession, the Capitals faltered in the finals, this time falling to RCB in New Delhi by eight wickets.

Captain Meg Lanning and blistering opener Shafali Verma both hauled over 300 runs in their runners-up campaign, while overseas bowlers Jess Jonassen and Marizanne Kapp claimed the joint-highest number of wickets for them with 11 scalps. As one can expect, each of the four aforementioned cricketers were retained by the franchise ahead of the WPL 2025 auction later in the year 2024.

The team also retained international stars like Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey and Annabel Sutherland to constitute their overall list of 14 retentions for the WPL 2025 season. On the day of the auction, the franchise acquired Scotland wicketkeeper-batter Sarah Bryce alongside uncapped Indian talents in the form of N Charani, Nandini Kashyap and India Women’s 2025 Under-19 World Cup-winning captain Niki Prasad.

With two successive finals in two WPL seasons, the Delhi Capitals Women’s franchise has duly proven itself to be the most formidable unit in the history of the tournament. However, after making a slew of retentions, releases and new recruits, legendary Australian captain Meg Lanning and her Capitals pantheons will hope to go one step further and lift the coveted WPL crown in 2025.
