Delhi falls again, Mumbai Indians win again
• Mumbai Indians secured another Women’s Premier League title with an eight-run win at Brabourne Stadium.
• Delhi Capitals lost the final for the third consecutive year, despite Harmanpreet Kaur’s 44-ball 66.
• Mumbai Indians’ bowlers restricted Delhi Capitals to 141 for nine.
• Mazianne Kapp contributed 40 runs in the chase, but was caught at long-off in the 18th over off Nat Sciver-Brunt.
• Harmanpreet Kaur, the team’s skipper, emphasized the team’s long batting line-up.
• Kapp and Shikha Pandey’s new-ball partnership led to a strong start, with Kapp striking twice in her four-over spell.
• The 2023 champions’ ability to counterpunch was crucial in their victory.
• The dismissals of Lanning and Shafali Verma in the chase left the remaining Capitals batters with too much to do.
