Mumbai Indians Conquer the first-ever WPL 2023 title and Delhi Capitals finds it too hot to handle the cup and the list of highest run-getters, wicket-takers, most catches
Meg Lanning called it perfectly at the toss and opted to bat first, they never got in control apart from the 38 runs partnership between Captain and Kaap. Unfortunately, Meg Lanning fell short of the crease to a disastrous call from Jess Jonassen and collapsed.
Soon the scoreboard read the humiliated 79 runs at the loss of 9 wickets at the end of the 16th over. Shikha Pandey and Radha Yadav made unbeaten 51 runs to post a defendable 131 runs. This was the highest-ever 10th wicket partnership of this Women’s Premier League 2023.
Mumbai Indians at one point felt a bit nervous with the loss of both opening pair on 23 but their highest salaried all-rounder never thought so and steadied the ship with captain Harmanpreet Kaur . After the captain departed New Zealand women’s team all-rounder Amelia Kerr joined the party.
At one point Delhi Capitals came back nicely and squeezed the run, they were bowling beautifully at that moment. And in the last 2 overs, Mumbai Indinsa required 21 runs off 12 balls means 10.5 runs per over. In the penultimate over Kerr and Sciver took 16 runs off Jess jonassen’s bowling. Sciver hit one boundary and Amelia Kerr hit 2 beautiful and crucial boundaries. With that help, they needed only 5 runs from the very last over of the tournament.
We must say this final win every cricket lover’s heart as this went into the last over and Sciver paddled the ball towards the boundary and Mumbai Indians players stormed into the ground to celebrate their first-ever winning of Women’s Premier League.
