Women’s Premier League season three was an exciting and riveting adventure, producing stars, shining talents and taking women’s cricket to another level.

Mumbai Indians won their second title by defeating Delhi Capitals by eight runs in Vadodara’s final on Saturday; an important win which would otherwise have gone to Delhi Capitals was lost due to an unfortunate ruling on the final ball, depriving their win by four runs!

One controversial moment from this final will always remain: an unfair decision taken during its play robbing them of victory by one run!

Harmanpreet Kaur’s impressive 44-ball 66 propelled Mumbai Indians to a promising total of 149/7 in 20-over format. Harmanpreet kept her cool despite an underwhelming display from other batters during her innings.

Harmanpreet’s first boundary came off a Jess Jonassen delivery, scoring an unorthodox six behind square leg. Next she effortlessly swept Annabel Sutherland towards long-on.

When Australian spinner Adam Treacher offered another shortish delivery from short leg, Harmanpreet batted it past wide long-on for another four.

She then received a lifeline when she was included in the ODI side as a replacement for Jemimah Rodrigues – replacing an inept opener who made matters worse – with only two runs needed off the last ball and lofted one over off-side infield while diving to make ground, only for her bails to light up but remain not out; giving Delhi victory by two wickets at last ball.

Nat Sciver-Brunt stood out as MI’s standout performer with three wickets from 30 attempts, while Amelia Kerr and Shabnim Ismail contributed two wickets each to make up MI’s potency bowling attack – which ultimately proved decisive.

Amanjot continues her impressive run by reaching 50 off 50 balls and being joined by Jemimah Rodrigues who was on course for fifty herself before Kerr made a spectacular catch at square leg to break their dangerous partnership and send NSB packing.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt acknowledges her team will enter the World Cup as underdogs but remains optimistic their strong pedigree and character can carry them through.

After an inconsistent winter including losing home series to India, Sciver-Brunt and new head coach Charlotte Edwards managed to bring equilibrium back into their squad ahead of this month’s competition in Australia.

England captain Alison Overton has chosen four spinners – left-armers Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith, offspinner Charlie Dean, and leggie Sarah Glenn – in her bowling attack, alongside Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer and Em Arlott as seam bowlers.

Sciver-Brunt brings balance as an experienced bowling figure even if she does not feature prominently this time around.

Delhi Capitals took control from the outset, bowling first and reducing Mumbai Indians to 92/6 by bowling first in the 16th over despite losing the toss.

They continued their dominance as Mumbai Indians battled back strongly, appearing poised for another thrilling finish until an irresistibly dot ball sealed it for Delhi Capitals to win another WPL trophy and seal Harmanpreet Kaur, Amelia Kerr, Niki Sharma and Meg Lanning to lead them all the way! A truly fantastic tournament which showed off their abilities once more!

Kerr had not had an impressive tournament with her bat but managed to turn things around with an innings of 35 off 20 balls, helping her team amass an impressive total of 149/7 in their 20 overs.

Delhi’s chase began poorly with Meg Lanning falling for 13 and Shafali Verma being dismissed for four in just the 10th over, leaving them on 66/5 in 10 overs.

Jemima Rodrigues and Sarah Bryce tried their hardest, but Kerr finally broke their partnership when she caught Jemima off a Dhoni delivery and ran her out for 5.

Nat Sciver-Brunt then bowled an over to deepen their opponent’s woes as they lost two wickets quickly – Rodrigues and Niki Prasad’s wickets dissipating much of the momentum they had been building for an eventual title win; even Marizanne Kapp and Niki Singh attempted some resistance, it wasn’t enough.

Mumbai Indians Women’s Premier League title win was spearheaded by Amanjot Kaur’s impressive batting performance and timely wicket-taking in the field, setting them on course to secure their third Women’s Premier League championship since 2011.

Amanjot was honored and celebrated by all in her squad; teammates congratulated her for an extraordinary comeback performance and expressed hope she continues in that vein in future games – creating the ideal end to an exceptional season that showcased stars from both sides of the border.

Once Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to bat first, Delhi Capitals quickly felt pressure from Mumbai Indians’ bowlers as soon as Alice Capsey hit 75 from 53 balls for 171 in their opening innings; her 75 run partnership with Jemimah Rodrigues helped steer Delhi through this early inning. Yet again West Indies star Alice Capsey showed her superior batting abilities by taking down early wickets with her superb innings that propelled the Capitals to 171.

Capitals never gained much traction in their chase despite Harmanpreet Kaur’s brilliant 66 off 44. Timely wickets from Nat Sciver-Brunt, Ismail and Kerr (a superb 18-ball 24) weren’t enough for them to prevail and claim victory.

At five wickets to win off the last ball and needing to hit sixes for extra overs, debutant Sajeevan Sajana took charge – smashing her first delivery over long-on and sparking celebrations from all of her team-mates.

On her WPL 2024 debut, Sajana displayed great poise under pressure and will prove an invaluable player for Mumbai Indians this season.

Signed at an auction price considerably less than she originally asked, Sajana could become an integral component in helping win big games this season with both her shotmaking ability and batting talent combining perfectly together to help win games – an impact she already made during their opening game against South African team Black Starlets at Brabourne Stadium on opening night – so stay tuned as both teams meet once more at Brabourne Stadium this Saturday and expect fireworks on both sides!

Sanskriti Gupta had no knowledge of women’s cricket eight years ago when she first began playing, yet now stands on the brink of winning her WPL trophy. “When I began, it came as quite a shock. “, said Sanskriti from Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh. “WPL seemed out-of-the-blue to me; it seemed quite unexpected!”

Since her WPL debut at Brabourne Stadium last August, the 22-year-old has experienced an extraordinary journey. But she knows what awaits her on Saturday when she takes to the field against Delhi Capitals in their WPL Final rematch.

She has played in three tournaments this season alone and earned herself a place on this year’s squad to represent her team at this year’s final at Brabourne Stadium – making this weekend even more special!

“It feels amazing,” she exclaims, “because this has been something I have dreamt about for so long – what an immense honor!”

Harmanpreet Kaur and her Mumbai Indians will begin their title defense against Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals, who have both been impressive this season despite Meg Lanning failing to end her consecutive streak as runners-up over three seasons.

Both teams have shown great promise all season; though Meg Lanning-led Delhi Capitals appear eager for a win compared to previous campaigns under Lanning.

Mumbai will look to take advantage of a pitch that has produced first-innings totals in each of their three matches this season, yet will require early breakthroughs from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Shabnim Ismail in order to prevent Delhi from building momentum.
