Delhi Capitals Aim for Redemption in WPL 2025 Final

After finishing as runners-up twice, Delhi Capitals are determined to clinch their first-ever Women's Premier League (WPL) title as they face Mumbai Indians in their third consecutive final. The highly anticipated clash is set to take place on March 15 at the iconic Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Under the leadership of Meg Lanning, Delhi Capitals dominated the league stage, securing five wins in eight matches to finish at the top of the table and earning a direct spot in the final. The team is eager to capitalize on this opportunity and finally lift the coveted trophy.

"Past Results Don’t Matter, It’s About Delivering in the Final" – Lanning

Speaking ahead of the final, skipper Meg Lanning emphasized that previous performances hold no relevance in the decisive match. "It's really irrelevant what's happened in the past, even in this year's round games. They don’t count for anything. It’s all about performing tomorrow night. We’re excited about the opportunity we’ve earned to play our best game of the tournament," she stated.

Highlighting the team's strength, Lanning praised the collective effort of her squad. "We've had different players stepping up at crucial moments throughout the season. We don’t rely on one or two individuals, which gives us confidence going into the final. No matter whose night it is, we will be ready to put Mumbai under pressure," she added.

Shafali Verma’s Form Key for Delhi Capitals

Lanning also lauded her opening partner Shafali Verma’s contributions this season. "She has been excellent for us, getting strong starts at the top. More importantly, she looks happy and confident, which is a great sign. She’s a vital part of our squad both on and off the field. I’m sure she has a big performance waiting for tomorrow night," she said.

Lanning’s Hunger for Runs and WPL Success

Reflecting on her time in the WPL, Lanning expressed her desire to contribute to the team's success. "Being part of the WPL and Delhi Capitals has been an incredible experience. It’s a unique and highly competitive tournament. But my goal remains the same—I want to win, and I want to score as many runs as I can to help my team lift the trophy," she asserted.

The Final Showdown

With both teams boasting a formidable lineup, the WPL 2025 final promises to be an electrifying contest. Delhi Capitals will be looking to finally script their ‘third time’s the charm’ moment, while Mumbai Indians will aim to defend their title. All eyes will be on Brabourne Stadium as history awaits to be written.
