Harmanpreet, Bowlers Star As MI Beat DC By Eight Runs, Clinch Second Title

Mumbai: Delhi Capitals failed to break their record of coming second best in the finals of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 as Mumbai Indians held their nerve to emerge victorious by eight runs in the summit clash of 2025 edition and clinch their second title in front of 14,700 fans at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday night.

MI’s win was set up by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who timed her shots and placed them exquisitely to top-score with 66 as the hosts posted 149/7 on a fresh pitch. In defence of 150, Nat Sciver-Brunt took 3-30, including taking out Marizanne Kapp, while Amelia Kerr picked 2-25 as MI restricted DC to 141/9 in their 20 overs.

For DC, barring Marizanne’s 40, Jemimah’s 30, and Niki Prasad’s 25 not out, none of DC’s batters got going as they froze under pressure yet again and couldn’t handle MI’s bowlers standing up when it really mattered the most to become the most successful franchise in WPL.

Brief scores: Mumbai Indians 149/7 in 20 overs (Harmanpreet Kaur 66, Nat Sciver-Brunt 30; Marizanne Kapp 2-11, Jess Jonassen 2-26) beat Delhi Capitals 141/9 in 20 overs (Marizanne Kapp 40, Jemimah Rodrigues 30; Nat Sciver-Brunt 3-30, Amelia Kerr 2-25) by eight runs. IANS
