Delhi Capitals had an eventful run in the early part of the year. In the Women's Premier League (WPL), they finished in pole position, winning six out of their eight games and securing a place in the final. But DC lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by eight wickets in the summit clash.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals failed to reach the playoffs again. They were tied with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on points, with RCB going through. Delhi Capitals finished sixth place and ended outside the top four for the third year running.

DC are yet to win the IPL or the WPL and will be gunning to do so next year.
