Mumbai: The stage is set for a thrilling finale in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 as Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) prepare to clash for the championship title on Saturday at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. While Delhi Capitals secured their place in the final by finishing at the top of the points table, Mumbai Indians advanced after defeating Gujarat Giants in the eliminator match.
Delhi Capitals Eye First-Ever Title
Delhi Capitals are determined to clinch their maiden WPL trophy. This marks their third consecutive appearance in the final, yet they have not managed to lift the title so far. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are looking in great form ahead of the final. Their journey through the last stages of the tournament has given them crucial match practice.

These two teams previously faced off in the inaugural WPL final, where Mumbai Indians emerged victorious. However, this season, Delhi has displayed a strong performance against Mumbai, making the final encounter an exciting contest.
