WPL 2025: Smriti Mandhana’s RCB spoil Mumbai Indians’ party, Delhi Capitals’ top spot confirmed

Delhi Capitals played their last league match on March 7 in Lucknow, and they will next be in action on Saturday in the final as their top spot was finally confirmed on Tuesday. They had to wait till the last over of the league phase to have confirmation for their place on top of the standings as Mumbai Indians fell short in the run-chase against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Brabourne Stadium. Meg Lanning’s DC have now made it to the final for the third straight season but will come in cold to the title clash because of the skewed schedule. In contrast, MI – should they reach the final – will play four matches in six days. First up, they take on Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator on Thursday.

WPL: With majestic bowling and fielding display, Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals put together perfect game

There was a nice embrace between Meg Lanning and Shabnim Ismail at the end of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) match in Bengaluru. When Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals met earlier in the season, in the battle of retired international superstars it was the South African pacer who looked sharper and dismissed the DC captain with a peach. But on Friday, Lanning stamped her class, taking down Ismail with an array of boundaries, including a stunning on-drive, as DC went on to beat MI in a one-sided contest to go top of the table. “I’ve played a lot against her and she’s a great competitor I love coming up against her. So yeah, it was nice to get a couple away today,” Lanning said after the match. It was just one of the many things that went her way. The ‘win-toss-win-match’ trend continued a...

WPL: Clinical MI trounce GG by five wickets

All-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt starred in both departments as Mumbai Indians produced a clinical performance to return to winning ways with a five-wicket victory over a self-destructive Gujarat Giants in their Women’s Premier League (WPL) match here on Tuesday. Sciver-Brunt smashed a 39-ball 57, her second consecutive half-century, after taking two wickets for 26, as MI first bowled out GG for a modest 120 and then chased down the target, scoring 122 for 5 with 3.5 overs to spare. Invited to bat, Gujarat paid the price for their over-aggression, with MI’s bowlers, led by off-spinner Hayley Matthews, delivering a tight performance. Shabnim Ismail (1/17), Amelia Kerr (2/22), and Amanjot Kaur (1/17) also played key roles in restricting Gujarat’s batting. Story continues below this ad ...
