Mumbai Indians emerged as champions of the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) after Nat Sciver-Brunt scored an unbeaten 60 to guide her team to a seven-wicket victory against Delhi Capitals in the T20 final at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians became the first team to lift the title of the inaugural Women's Premier League on Sunday. MI's skipper Harmanpreet Kaur revealed what this moment meant for her as a captain and a player in the post-match conference. "Personally I was waiting for this moment for a long time when I can as a captain win something which is so important for women's cricket and this time we were able to do it and I think I just want to keep doing this in future also and I hope the momentum we got in this tournament we want to continue for the next season also and all the Indian players who ever did well and I am hoping that whenever they join Indian team they will also give their 100% for the Indian team also," said Harmanpreet Kaur.
England's Nat Sciver-Brunt hit an unbeaten half-century to steer Mumbai Indians to a tense seven-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the final of the inaugural Women's Premier League on Sunday.
MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians were crowned champions at the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) after Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 60 secured their seven-wicket victory against Delhi Capitals in the final at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
A late flourish from England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt (60 not out) helped Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals by seven wickets in a low-scoring summit clash to become champions of the inaugural Women's Premier League in Mumbai on Sunday. In front of a partisan crowd that filled the Brabourne Stadium here to the brim, Mumbai Indians chased down the target of 131 with three balls to spare to lift the trophy. Opting to bat first, Delhi Capitals suffered a collapse to be reduced to 79 for 9 in 16 overs but posted a respectable total of 131 for 9, thanks to a 52-run partnership for the unbroken 10th wicket between Shikha Pandey (27 not out) and Radha Yadav (27 not out).
Delhi Capitals will be going up against Mumbai Indians in the most-awaited final match of the Women's Premier League 2023 on Sunday. Both the teams had a magnificent run during the league stage and gave a brilliant performance. The Meg Lanning-led side became the first team to qualify into the finals while the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team defeated UP Warriorz in the Eliminator match on Friday. It will be an interesting clash as both the teams will be putting their best foot forward in order to clinch the inaugural title of the tournament.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's form is a huge concern as Mumbai Indians look to cap their superb Women's Premier League season (WPL) by defeating Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals in the final of the inaugural edition of the tournament in Mumbai on Sunday. After three half centuries earlier on in the tournament, form has deserted the India skipper, and, had it not been for Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 72 in the Eliminator against UP Warriorz on Friday, the script of the tournament could have been different. With Harmanpreet managing just 14 runs in the Eliminator, things could have gone downhill for the Mumbai franchise, but luckily Nat Sciver made the most of the dropped catch to make a mockery of the Warriorz bowling.
Mumbai Indians beat UP Warriorz by 72 runs in the Eliminator clash to enter the finals of the Women's Premier League in Mumbai on Friday. MI will face Delhi Capitals in the title clash on Sunday. Sent into bat, Mumbai Indians scored 182 for four. MI were off to a decent start but both their openers -- Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia -- could not capitalise on their starts. Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored for MI with a blistering 72 not out off 38 balls, and while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was out for 14, Melie Kerr chipped in with a 19-ball 29 before Pooja Vastrakar hit 11 in four balls. In reply, MI bowled out UPW for 110 in 17.4 overs, with Kiran Navgire making 43 off 27 balls.
