WPL Final Live: MI W vs DC W Live Scores | Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Live Scores & Commentary

Yastika Bhatia: Opening with Hayley is always fun and very enjoyable because it’s good to watch sixes from the other end. She’s very supportive and tells me to play my natural game, and not do anything silly. She complements me by giving us a left hand, right hand combination. (On training with Kiran More) I have been training with him for a year, and it has helped a lot to work on my collection and my movement. I think keeping assists my batting and I get to know the wicket, and vice-versa as well since I’m an opening batter. She creates a very positive environment, backs me a lot to go and open, whatever the result and give a positive performance. As we wait for the toss, let's recall the most impactful performances of the season. Barring Issy Wong's hat-trick, I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of bowling spells/ knocks which will be etched in our memories. To start with, Sophie Devine's scintillating knock of 99(36) against Gujarat Giants at the same venue, was my favourite knock of the season. What about you?

MI Women beat Gujarat Giants by 143 runs, MI Women beat RCB Women by 9 wickets, MI Women beat DC Women by 8 wickets, MI Women beat UP Warriorz by 8 wickets and MI Women beat Gujarat Giants by 55 runs once again. These were the results of the first five games Mumbai Indians Women played in the inaugural edition of WPL 2023. However, even after having such a dominating start to their season, Mumbai Indians stuttered slightly as they lost a couple of games, first against UP and later against DC, and that perhaps cost them a direct entry into the final of WPL 2023. Under the leadership of Meg Lanning, the Delhi Capitals put up an authoritative performance as MI were humbled by 9 wickets at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai less than a week ago. Both - MI and DC, won 6 games in the league stage, but as a result of a superior net run rate, DC finished as the table-toppers. On that note, hello and welcome to our live coverage of the grand finale of WPL 2023 folks! It's Meg Lanning's DC vs Harmanpreet Kaur's MI at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.. Ever since the final round-robin match of the inaugural Women's Premier League 2023, where Delhi Capitals secured their direct entry to final, there's been an over-riding sense of deja vu. A side led by serial World Cup winner Meg Lanning was comfortably awaiting whoever made it through the extra tussle of an elimination threat to a sold-out title clash. Yet again, it's a spirited team led by Harmanpreet Kaur. The similarities stop there, however, because it isn't quite Australia vs India. Sunday's (March 26) finale between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians is a befitting contest between two very evenly-matched sides of the tournament who quite quickly rose to the top courtesy their all-round depth and are now vying for the ultimate glory. At the halfway stage Harmanpreet's MI looked unstoppable with a perfect fifer upfront, all comprehensive wins, their top-four among the tournament's top-10 run-getters consistently, albeit shuffling positions among themselves. The Purple Cap too was firmly in left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque's hold. That clean record included a convincing eight-wicket thrashing of DC when the two unbeaten sides clashed in Navi Mumbai. Capitals flipped the script in the reverse fixture, restricting MI for 100-odd this time to pick up a NRR-defining win by nine wickets, again at DY Patil's transitioning tracks. Two such defeats, batting first, meant MI had to take the extra long route to the final, but they were back to their most dominant self in the 72-run victory over UP Warriorz in the Eliminator. The MI of the old seemed back in action, where bowlers put in a combined shift after Nat Sciver-Brunt toyed with the bowling to negate Warriorz's spin advantage. Their strong showing has hinged on an in-form top-four, all amassing 200 runs at least in the season.
