Second Title Win By MI

The Mumbai Indians secured their second Women’s Premier League (WPL) title after defeating the Delhi Capitals by 8 runs in a thrilling final at Mumbai on Saturday. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team successfully defended a target of 150, denying Delhi their maiden championship yet again.

Despite a valiant effort from Niki Prasad, who remained unbeaten on 25, Delhi Capitals fell short in their chase, losing their third consecutive WPL final.

Chasing 150, Delhi Capitals had a shaky start. Skipper Meg Lanning fell early for 13, followed by Shafali Verma, who managed just 4. The team struggled to build momentum as Jess Jonassen (13) and Annabel Sutherland (2) were dismissed, leaving them at 37/3.

Jemimah Rodrigues played a crucial knock, scoring 30, but was caught and bowled by Amelia Kerr, reducing Delhi to 66/5. The situation worsened as Sarah Bryce (5) was run out, leaving them at 83/6 in 12.5 overs.

A brief fightback came from Marizanne Kapp (40) and Niki Prasad, who stitched together a 40-run partnership, but Kapp’s dismissal to Nat Sciver-Brunt ended Delhi’s hopes. The tail could not provide much resistance as Shikha Pandey (0) and Minnu Mani (4) departed quickly, sealing Mumbai’s victory.

Nat Sciver-Brunt was the standout performer with the ball, picking up 3/30, while Amelia Kerr (2/25) played a crucial role in the middle overs. Hayley Matthews, Shabnim Ismail, and Saika Ishaque contributed with a wicket each to ensure Mumbai’s successful title defense. The Capitals were stranded for 141/9.

With this victory, Mumbai Indians reaffirmed their dominance in the Women’s Premier League, while Delhi Capitals were left heartbroken yet again, falling short in the final for the third consecutive season.
