There was no surprises in store as all the marquee players, including Mumbai Indians' Harmanpreet Kaur, Delhi Capital's Meg Lanning and Royal Challengers Bangalore's Smriti Mandhana, have been retained by their respective Women's Premier League franchises (WPL), the league announced on Thursday. The window for the five franchises to retain players for the WPL 2024 season came to an end on October 15. While 60 players, including 21 overseas cricketers, were retained across five franchises, 29 players were released from their existing squads.
Rohit Sharma and some other members of the Mumbai Indians men's team watched the women's team beat Delhi Capitals in the final of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 on Sunday. As Harmanpreet Kaur & Co. became the champions of the inaugural edition of the T20 league, Rohit and the rest of his teammates stood up and applauded the team for their historic achievement on the grand stage. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan were also present alongside Rohit and the other members of the franchise.
The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 final between Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals saw the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side emerge triumphant. While there's no denying that Mumbai played the better brand of cricket in the title decider, a 'controversial' dismissal of Delhi opener Shafali Verma did become a huge talking point among fans on social media. The DC side even asked a question on social media, seeking opinions from fans on whether Shafali's dismissal was fair or not.
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.
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.
Mumbai Indians had the perfect game in their Women's Premier League Eliminator against UP Warriorz on Friday. Isabelle Wong (4/15) recorded the first hat-trick of the WPL after Nat Sciver-Brunt's brutal 38-ball 72 as Mumbai Indians stormed into the final with a 72-run drubbing of UP Warriorz. The final of the inaugural WPL will be played between the two best sides that occupied the top two spots of the points table with 12 points each, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, on Sunday at the Brabourne Stadium.
