DC vs MI WPL Final 2025: Mumbai Indians Clinch Second WPL Title with Thrilling Win Over Delhi Capitals

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 final witnessed an electrifying showdown as Mumbai Indians (MI) clinched their second WPL title by defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) in a thrilling contest. Held at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai edged past Delhi by eight runs, solidifying their dominance in the league.

Nat Sciver-Brunt emerged as the game-changer, delivering an all-round performance by picking up three crucial wickets, including those of Meg Lanning and Marizanne Kapp, to dismantle Delhi’s chase.

Mumbai Indians Post a Competitive 150-Run Target

After being put in to bat, Mumbai Indians set a challenging total of 150 runs, thanks to a sensational 66-run knock from captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Alongside Nat Sciver-Brunt, she rebuilt MI’s innings after an early setback at 14/2.

However, just when Mumbai looked in control at 103/2, Delhi struck back, triggering a mini-collapse that saw MI lose four wickets for just 15 runs, slipping to 118/6. Despite this, Mumbai managed to reach a defendable total.

On the bowling front, Marizanne Kapp was the standout performer for Delhi Capitals, dismissing both MI openers early. However, DC failed to capitalize on their strong start, allowing Mumbai to regain momentum.

Defending 150 runs, Mumbai’s bowlers rose to the occasion, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt, who claimed three key wickets. Her dismissals of Meg Lanning and Marizanne Kapp turned the game in MI’s favor, restricting Delhi Capitals from reaching the target.

Despite Delhi’s best efforts, they fell eight runs short, marking yet another heartbreak in their pursuit of a maiden WPL title. This was DC’s third consecutive WPL final, but they remain without a trophy.
