The 3rd edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) had a riveting finish as Mumbai Indians women lifted their 2nd WPL title and established themselves as the most successful side in this competition.
Harmanpreet Kaur and co. defeated Delhi Capitals women by 8 runs in the high-voltage finals of the WPL 2025 at the Brabourne Stadium. This is the 3rd time that Delhi Capitals have qualified for the finals and have ended up being on the losing side.
Such is their bad destiny that in all the 3 editions of the WPL, Delhi Capitals have topped the group stage and have lost the finals. This is another serious bitter pill to swallow and this pain-staking loss will take a while for them to sink in.
Earlier in the tournament, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru had crashed out of the tournament and it was Gujarat Giants who faced Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator.
It was Mumbai Indians women who won the Eliminator by 47 runs and had advanced to the finals of WPL.
In the finals, Mumbai put up a modest total of 149 runs thanks to a fiery knock from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. She scored 66 runs in 44 deliveries and Nat Sciver-Brunt scored 30 runs in 38 balls.
The Capitals in response, could manage to put up only 141 runs on the board and it was Marizanne Kapp who fought a lone battle as she scored 40 runs in 26 balls. She was eventually dismissed by Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has had a dream tournament in the WPL.
She finished with the Orange Cap and she also smashed the most number of fours in the tournament.
