WPL 2025: Mumbai Indians Players Soak In The Feeling Of Being Champions For Second Time
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: This time last year, Mumbai Indians’ players were in tears after losing the Eliminator to eventual Wommen's Premier League (WPL) 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in New Delhi. But on Saturday night, the smiles were back on MI players’ faces as they beat Delhi Capitals by eight runs to win their second WPL title at the Brabourne Stadium here on Saturday.
MI’s win was set up by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who timed her shots and placed them exquisitely to top-score with 66 as the hosts posted 149/7 on a fresh pitch. In defence of 150, Nat Sciver-Brunt took 3-30, including taking out Marizanne Kapp, while Amelia Kerr picked 2-25 as MI restricted DC to 141/9 in their 20 overs to win WPL 2025.
“Because we have won before, expectations can be a little more. But we have played big games before, so it did not feel like (a very different occasion). Our team meetings are simple. They had won before us, but today was a new day, a new match. We had good depth, and we would not leave this game for anyone (else to win),” added all-rounder Amanjot Kaur.
