New Delhi: The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face off in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 final at Brabourne Stadium. This is DC’s third time reaching the WPL final, while MI is making their second appearance. DC is aiming for their first WPL championship, while MI, the 2023 title holders, previously triumphed over DC in the final to claim the trophy. In the 2025 final, DC won the toss and chose to bowl first.
After an early wicket, Nat Sciver-Brunt walked in to bat during the powerplay. On her third delivery, she made history by becoming the first player to surpass 1000 runs in the Women’s Premier League, accomplishing the milestone in her 29th match. Sciver-Brunt has been part of MI since the league’s inception, amassing 332 runs in 10 games during WPL 2023. However, she encountered some difficulties in WPL 2024, accumulating only 172 runs in 9 matches.
In WPL 2025, Sciver-Brunt has regained her form, scoring 496* runs to date and is closing in on the 500-run mark. Not only is she a formidable batter, but she’s also an essential all-rounder, with 29 wickets to her name.
Ellyse Perry currently holds the second spot among the top run-scorers in the WPL, having accumulated 972 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Right behind her is Meg Lanning, who has 939 runs and is closing in on the 950-run milestone.
In the final, MI faced an early setback, losing Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia. MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur joined Sciver-Brunt at a critical moment, with the team struggling at 2 wickets down for just 14 runs. The experienced duo faces a challenging task in this important match.
