Match Scorecard
Amelia Kerr’s dry run continues. She has been caught at mid-off here. Change of pace works for Jonassen as she dropped her pace and pitched this close to the batter. Kerr gifts this to mid-off. Sajana is now in. Sajana is gone, too. She reviews an LBW call, but to no avail, as this is the umpire’s call, and the umpire called it out. Three quick wickets and MI are now in trouble again.
Nallapureddy Charani gets the big fish, Nat Sciver-Brunt. A much-needed wicket for the Capitals. Nat whips this hard to square leg and is caught out. Amelia Kerr is now in.
Both these batters are going strong, sharing loads of being the aggressor. This is good batting by Mumbai and a great middle phase. They have breached past 100 in the 14th over.
Harmanpreet Kaur is turning it on once again. She is standing tall on the night of the final. She gets to her fifty with a four in between mid-wicket and long on.
Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt are now taking the bowlers on. They have hit four boundaries in the last two overs. MI 53/2 after 10. They were at 20/2 after 6.
We are seven overs into the final and Kapp has bowled out her quota of overs. She has got both the openers and has given only 11 runs. How crucial this spell can be in the final? Only time will tell.
DC bowlers are doing the job well here. They have kept the lid on the MI batters. MI get to only 20/2 after 6 overs. What a start for DC.
And the other Mumbai opener is gone too. Yastika looked to get this over covers, but she did not get the elevation. Jemimah takes a very good low catch. Both MI openers are back in little over four overs.
Kapp gets Matthews. That’s a big wicket. Matthews was the in-form batter and she has been cleaned-up. This one swing away but then nipped back in to clean the batter.
Kapp and Shikha Pandey are sharing the new ball. There is swing up front for the bowlers and DC would want to cash that in. A tight start so far.
Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia are out in the middle to open the things for MI. Mumbai go with Yastika after trying Amelia in few games at the top. Marizanne Kapp has the new ball in her hand. Off we go.
DC batted first in both the previous two finals and lost. They are batting second today.
All three matches at this venue this season have been won by teams who have batted first.

Even we were looking to bowl. But I think anything is good for us. If we look at the stats of the last four games, team batting first has won. Staying balanced and staying in the moment has worked for us. They’ve played really good cricket in this tournament. The last week has gone well for us.
Going to have a bowl tonight. Conditions are going to remain the same, and it’s worked for us throughout the tournament. We’ve had some time off to refresh and we’re excited about tonight. It’s an opportunity for us. Need to play well and hopefully it’s our best performance. One change for us.
Meg Lanning has won the toss and she has decided that Delhi Capitals will be bowling first today.
The toss is not much far away from now. The closing ceremony has gripped the fans at the CCI in joy. They are enjoying their hearts out before all the serious things begin.
Pitch is closer to the center. Square boundaries are 56 meters and 55 meters. Straight boundary is 69 meters. It’s a fresh pitch for today. The pitch looks dry and is rolled well. Pretty hard surface – good wicket to bat and lot of runs in store for the batters. There was a lot of dew in the previous game. It is cooler this evening so maybe there won’t be that much dew.
A star-studded closing ceremony is setting the tempo for the big final. We have French Montana, Mohamed Ramadan, Jasmine Sandlas, and DJ Shadow performing in the closing ceremony.
DC got a straight entry into the finals as they were table toppers yet again. MI battled hard to reach here. They defeated GG in the Eliminator to meet DC in the final.
Nat-Sciver Brunt is three runs away from becoming the first player to score 1000 runs in WPL history. She is just seven away from 500 in a single season of WPL. Will she get it today?
Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians have faced each other seven times in the WPL. DC have the wood over MI with a 4-3 lead. One of the three wins for MI over DC included the 2023 final.
Harmanpreet Kaur has tasted this success before, but not on an international level. She led her troops to victory in 2023 after beating Meg Lanning’s DC. Lanning has tasted success at all international levels, barring in WPL, before. Will it be Harman’s MI doing it again, or will DC finally get the crown?
It’s 2025, but it is also 2023. Two years ago, the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals met each other in the final of the first season of WPL. Two years down the line, they meet each other again. DC have now become serial finalists, having reached here first in all their three attempts. A win in the final has eluded them. Will third time be lucky for Meg Lanning and her women? We will find that out today. Stay tuned, as I, Varun Malik, take you across this final.
