Delhi Capitals came close to their maiden Women’s Premier League (WPL) title for the third consecutive season but faltered at the final hurdle. In a gripping final that mirrored 2023, Mumbai Indians won their second championship with a resilient performance, securing an eight-run victory. This win reinforced Mumbai’s dominance, marking their second WPL title and 11th across global franchise cricket, further cementing their reputation as a powerhouse. Despi?te their consistent performances, Delhi once again fell short in a final, prolonging their wait for silverware??.

Harmanpreet Kaur anchors Mumbai Indians to 149/7

Winning the toss, Delhi opted to bowl first, immediately putting Mumbai under pressure by reducing them to 14/2. However, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (66 off 44) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (30 off 28) led a remarkable recovery, stitching together an 87-run partnership. Their composed approach helped Mumbai rebuild, despite Delhi’s disciplined bowling attack. Just as Mumbai aimed for a strong finish, Jess Jonassen and Shikha Pandey struck crucial blows in the death overs. The late wic?kets prevented Mumbai from accelerating fully, but they still managed to post a competitive 149/7 in 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals chase falters despite Marizanne Kapp’s heroics

Delhi’s chase began on a shaky note as they lost both openers early, slipping to 22/2 within three overs. Jemimah Rodrigues (30 off 21) and Marizanne Kapp (40 off 26) attempted a fightback, adding valuable runs under pressure. Their efforts kept Delhi in contention, but their dismissals at crucial moments shifted the momentum back to Mumbai. Niki Prasad (25 off 23) tried to steer the chase in the final overs, but Mumbai’s disciplined bowling restricted boundaries. ??With wickets falling regularly and the required run rate climbi??ng, Delhi finished at 141/9, falling eight runs short once again.

The stage is set for an electrifying finale in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 as Delhi Capitals face off against Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 15. Both teams have shown incredible form throughout the tournament, making this a highly anticipated showdown. Delhi Capitals topped the points table, securing a direct spot in the final for the third consecutive year. They have been consistent, with a strong top order and a balanced bowling attack. Key players like Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, and Jemimah Rodrigues form a formidable batting lineup, while Marizanne Kapp and Jess Jonassen lead the bowling department, supported by Shikha Pandey and Radha Yadav.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, qualified for the final by defeating Gujarat Giants by 47 runs in the eliminator match. They have shown resilience and depth in their squad. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the team boasts crucial all-rounders in Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews, with Amelia Kerr providing significant support with her bowling. The Brabourne Stadium pitch is expected to favour batters, with spinners becoming more effective in the middle overs. Historically, Delhi Capitals have dominated Mumbai Indians in their league encounters this season, winning both matches. However, Mumbai Indians’ ability to rise to the occasion makes this a closely contested final.

Match Details: WPL 2025 Final

• Date and Time: March 15â€?07:30 pm IST/ 02:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report

The Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, where the WPL 2025 final between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be held, is known for its batting-friendly conditions. The pitch typically offers a flat surface with even bounce, which allows batters to play their shots freely??. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, making it easier for batters to score runs quickly. However, as the match progresses, the pitch might start to assi??st spinners, especially in the middle overs. The slow turn and grip available could make it challenging for batters to accelerate in the latter stages of the innings.

Given these conditions, teams might opt to bat first to take advantage of the fresh pitch and set a competitive total. The powerplay overs will be crucial, as both teams will look to capitalize on the field restrictions and build a strong foundation. The dew factor might come into play later in the evening, potentially affecting the bowlers’ grip on the ball. This could lead to a high-scoring contest, with both teams relying on their batting depth and strategic bowling changes to outmaneuver each other.

Smriti Mandhana, the star Indian cricketer and captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), recently found herself in a hilarious situation when comedian Danish Sait, popularly known as Mr. Nags, playfully teased her for her boyfriend, Palash Muchhal. The incident occurred during an epi??sode of the RCB Insider Show, where Mr. Nags cleverly turned the conversation into a lighthearted joke, leaving Mandhana in splits.

The teasing moment: Mr. Nags�blend of humour and Smriti Mandhana’s blushing

During the chat, Mr. Nags asked Mandhana if there were any “plus points” in her life, only to humorously shift the focus to “Palash points.” Mandhana, caught off guard, responded with a mix of confusion and amusement, asking, “What are Palash points?” Mr. Nags, not one to miss an opportunity for humour, added a witty twist by saying, “You tell me, what are Palash points? You turn into Balash (blushing) when I mention Palash.” This exchange left Mandhana laughing uncontrollably, clearly enjoying the playful banter.

Palash Muchhal: The man behind the tease

Palash is a well-known music composer and filmmaker, and the younger brother of renowned playback singer Palak Muchhal. Despite being in the public eye, Palash prefers to keep his personal life private. In an interview with The Hindustan Times, he shared his shyness and preference for maintaining a low profile, even though he is proud of his relationshi?p with Mandhana. Palash has been spotted attending RCB matches, showing his support for Mandhana and the team.

Mandhana and Palash: A relationship in the spotlight

Mandhana and Palash have been in a relationship for several years, with their bond often making headlines. Despite the media attention, they have managed to keep their personal life relatively private. Palash has expressed his pride in Mandhana’s achievements, highlighting her dedication to cricket and her role as a prominent figure in the sport.

RCB’s disappointing season in WPL 2025

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 season has been challenging for RCB, with the team failing to qualify for the playoffs. Despite winning their initial two matches, injuries and inconsistent performances hindered their progress. Mandhana herself had a tough season, scoring only 197 runs in eight matches, with a top score of 81. However, RCB ended the season on a positive note by defeating Mumbai Indians, preventing them from?? securing a direct entry into the final.

While RCB’s overall performance was disappointing, there were moments of brilliance. Ellyse Perry was a standout player, scoring 372 runs at an impressive average of 93. Georgia Wareham also performed well, taking 12 wickets in eight matches. Despite these individual achievements, the team’s inability to gel and perform consistently led to their early exit from the tournament.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended their Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 season on a positive note with an 11-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, on March 11. Led by Smriti Mandhana, RCB finally broke their five-match losing ??stre?ak, securing a consolation win.

Despite their struggles throughout the tournament, RCB delivered a dominant performance with the bat, posting a competitive 199/3 in 20 overs. MI put up a strong fight in the chase, with Nat Sciver-Brunt‘s blistering knock of 69 off 35 balls, but RCB’s bowlers held their nerve to seal the win. With this result, Delhi Capitals (DC) became the first team to qualify for the WPL 2025 final, while Mumbai will now face Gujarat Giants in the ??Eliminator for a spot in the summit clash.

Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Wareham shine in RCB’s power-packed batting display

After being asked to bat first, RCB got off to a blazing start, thanks to Sabbhineni Meghana’s quickfire 26 off 13 balls. She set the tone with aggressive stroke play before falling to Hayley Matthews. However, capt?ain Mandhana anchored the innings with a fluent 53 off 37 balls, stri??king six fours and three sixes.

Ellyse Perry played a stabilizing role, scoring an unbeaten 49 off 38 balls, ensuring that RCB kept the momentum going. Richa Ghosh provided the late push, smashing a 22-ball 36, but Georgia Wareham’s explosive cameo changed the game. She hammered 31 off ju?st 10 balls, with five fours and one six, taking RCB to an imposing total o??f 199/3 in their 20 overs.

Mumbai’s bowlers struggled on a batting-friendly surface, with Matthews (2/37) and Amelia Kerr (1/47) being the only wicket-takers. The rest of the bowling attack, including Shabnim Ismail, Sciver-Brunt and Amanjot Kaur, failed to contain RCB’s aggressive batters.

Nat Sciver-Brunt’s heroics for MI in vain as RCB bowlers hold nerve

Chasing 200 for victory, Mumbai started aggressively but lost wickets at regular intervals. Matthews (19 off 16) and Kerr (9 off 10) fell early, putting MI on?? the back foo??t. Sciver-Brunt then took charge, smashing a 35-ball 69, laced with nine fours and two sixes. She single-handedly kept MI in the hunt, but RCB struck at crucial junctures to derail their chase.

After Harmanpreet Kaur’s dismissal for 20, the lower order had too much to do. Amanjot (17 off 15), Sajeevan Sajana (23 off 12), and Sanskriti Gupta (10 off 4) tried to accelerate, but RCB’s bowlers held firm. Sneh Rana (3/26) was the standout performer, dismissing key batters at crucial moments, while Ellyse Perry (2/53) and Kim Garth (2/33) provided vital breakthroughs. Despite Mumbai reaching 188/9 i?n 20 overs, they fell 11 runs short, handing RCB a much-need??ed win before exiting the tournament.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Wah Georgia W, today you had to s?how your proper potential with the bat. Pisses me off, the talent this team has & the way they underperform.

Gujarat Giants registered a nail-biting five-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. After winning the toss, Gujarat opted to field first, allowing Delhi to set the pace with the bat. Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma provided a strong foundation with an aggressive opening partnership. However, Gujarat’s bowlers made a strong comeback in the middle overs, restricting Delhi to 177/5. In response, Gujarat chased down the target in a tense finish, with Harleen Deol playing a match-winning knock. The game saw momentum shift multiple ti??mes, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, Gujarat secured victory with three balls to spare, capping off an unforgettable contest.

Meg Lanning’s blazing 92 sets up competitive total for Delhi Capitals

Delhi started their innings on a fiery note as Lanning and Shafali took charge with an 83-run opening stand. Shafali’s quickfire 40 off 27 balls set the tempo, but her dismissal triggered a collapse. The middle order, including Jess Jonassen, Jemimah Rodrigues and Annabel Sutherland, failed to make an impact.? However, Lanning held her ground, smashing 92 off just 57 balls, including 15 fours and a six. She fell agonizingly short of ??a century, but her knock ensured Delhi reached a strong total of 177/5 in their 20 overs, leaving Gujarat with a challenging chase.

Despite the pressure, Harleen remained composed, crafting an unbeaten 70-run innings that kept Gujarat in the hunt. The equation came down to seven runs off the final over when Kashvee Gautam smashed a crucial six, shifting the balance in Gujarat’s favor.

Probably the best innings Harleen have played. Delivers when her team needed the most. #WPL #WPL2025 #GGvDC

Sensational run chase by the Giants! This after a laborious start first up but some fine batting to ensure the asking rate wasn't an impossible one. Very good knock from Harleen but that Dottin blitz was monumental #WPL2025

Should play the Final vs DC and maybe go all the way!#WPL2025
