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.
Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals may have been the first team to enter the WPL final but the summit clash against Mumbai Indians will be a "massive challenge", a game in which she wants dashing batter Shafali Verma to come in with a clear mind. "Both Mumbai and Delhi have been consistent throughout the tournament. We have had two good contests. I am looking forward to taking on a really good team, they played some really good cricket last night," Lanning told the media during the pre-match press conference at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
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.
As Delhi Capitals qualified for the playoffs of the Women's Premier League, the franchise shared a video on social media in which its players could be seen dancing on a Bollywood song with the lyrics "woh ladki jo sabse alag hai (The girl that is different from all)", which had actor Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role from the movie 'Baadshah'. While the entire team danced to the tune, DC skipper Meg Lanning concluded it all with the iconic SRK pose by stretching both of her arms.
WPL 2023, UP Warriorz vs Delhi Capitals, Live: Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning won the toss and opted to bowl against UP Warriorz in a Women's Premier League match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. It will be an important clash for the Meg Lanning-led side as they will be aiming to finish at the top spot in order to enter the final. On the other hand, UP Warriorz qualified into Playoffs after they registered a thrilling win against Gujarat Giants in their previous match. (Live Scorecard)
