Mumbai Indians wrote their name in the history books as they won the WPL 2023 title at the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (March 26). Delhi Capitals posted 131 runs after batting first and the Harmanpreet Kaur chased down the target with 3 balls to spare and 7 wickets in hand. DC-W had booked their spot in the final directly from the league stage of the tournament by finishing at the top of the points table while Mumbai Indians had to play the Eliminator 2 clash vs UP Warriorz which they won convincingly on Friday night to qualify. MI had finished on number 2 in the points table, courtesy a lower NRR than DC despite same number of points.
MI will bank on their proven match-winners such as Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr. Skipper Harman will be key to their success as well. On the other hand, DC will pin hopes on their captain Meg Lanning, who has most runs in this season so far (310 from 8 matches) as well as vice-captain Jemimah Rodrigues.
