Apart from Marizanne Kapp, Jemimah Rodrigues (30 runs off 21 balls) and Niki Prasad (25* runs off 23 balls) were the only notable contributors during DC’s unsuccessful chase of 150 runs against the MI, as half of their line-up was dismissed for a single-digit score in the summit clash.

For Mumbai Indians, it was a night of triumph, resilience, and redemption, but it was another painful chapter for Delhi Capitals, and the official social media handle of the Women’s Premier League showed all these emotions. Marizanne Kapp was absolutely heartbroken after the loss.

Defending a target of 150, Nat Sciver-Brunt bowled brilliantly, taking 3 wickets for 30 runs, including the crucial dismissal of Kapp. Amelia Kerr also played a key role, grabbing 2 wickets for 25 runs to help MI restrict DC to 141/9 in 20 overs in the WPL 2025 final in Mumbai.

Notably, Delhi dominated the points table in all three WPL seasons but have always fallen short in the final. This time, they also faced their first-ever back-to-back defeats in a single edition. While Kaur and her team earned INR 6 crore as prize money, DC skipper Meg Lanning got INR 3 crore and a shield for being the runner-up of this WPL 2025 season.
