On Sunday, in the final of the Women’s Premier League, the toss was won by Delhi Capitals skipper Meg Lanning, who chose to bat first against Mumbai Indians. However, this decision proved to be unfavorable as Delhi struggled to establish momentum, losing wickets at frequent intervals. The top-performing bowler during the PowerPlay was Issy Wong, who took three wickets. These early setbacks hampered Delhi's start and they were unable to make a recovery. At one point, with the score at 79/9, it seemed as though Delhi was in a dire situation. However, a partnership between Shikha Pandey and Radha Yadav produced 52 runs in 24 balls with three sixes and five fours, ultimately enabling the Delhi Capitals to achieve a respectable score.
Mumbai Indians XI: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia (w), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Melie Kerr, Pooja Vastrakar, Issy Wong, Amanjot Kaur, Humaira Kazi, Jintimani Kalita, Saika Ishaque.
Delhi Capitals XI: Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Alice Capsey, Jess Jonassen, Arundhati Reddy, Taniya Bhatia (w), Radha Yadav, Shikha Pandey, Minnu Mani.
