The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 final at the iconic Brabourne Stadium saw an enthralling battle between Mumbai Indians Women (MUM-W) and Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W). Mumbai emerged victorious, claiming their second title in three seasons. The final was a spectacle of resilience, strategy, and nerve-wracking cricket moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
A Match Worthy of the Grand Finale
Winning the toss, Delhi Capitals opted to field first. Their decision paid off early as Marizanne Kapp delivered a fiery spell, dismissing Mumbai’s top order cheaply. At the end of the powerplay, Mumbai was reeling at 20/2, one of the lowest scores in WPL powerplay history.
However, captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt anchored the innings with a crucial partnership. Kaur’s half-century steadied Mumbai’s innings before a double-wicket blow in the 16th over put them under pressure again. Despite this, they managed to post a fighting total of 149.
Delhi’s Chase: A Rollercoaster Ride
Delhi Capitals started aggressively but lost both skipper Meg Lanning and explosive opener Shafali Verma early. Marizanne Kapp, after shining with the ball, played a counterattacking knock, giving Delhi hopes of clinching the title. However, Mumbai’s bowlers struck at crucial moments, restricting Delhi’s momentum. Despite Niki Prasad’s unbeaten 25 off 23 balls, Delhi fell short by eight runs, handing Mumbai their second WPL trophy.
Fan Reactions and Celebrations
Social media erupted with praise for Mumbai Indians Women’s resilience. Fans flooded “X” (formerly Twitter) with reactions celebrating their team’s triumph. Harmanpreet Kaur was hailed for her leadership, while Marizanne Kapp was recognized as one of the best all-rounders of the tournament.
