Delhi Capitals dominated Mumbai Indians with a convincing nine-wicket win, reclaiming the top spot in WPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Jess Jonassen (3/25) led the bowling attack, restricting Mumbai to 123/9 before Meg Lanning (60* off 49) and Shafali Verma (43 off 28) powered through the chase in just 14.3 overs, boosting Delhi’s Net Run Rate.

Mumbai started strong as Yastika Bhatia struck a boundary off the first ball from Marizanne Kapp. Partnered with Hayley Matthews, she kept the scoreboard ticking. The momentum shifted in the sixth over when Shikha Pandey bowled a maiden-wicket over, dismissing Bhatia (11 off 11). Annabel Sutherland then removed Matthews in the next over, putting Mumbai under pressure.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt looked to rebuild, smashing 18 runs off Titas Sadhu’s 10th over. Just as Mumbai gained momentum, Jonassen struck, trapping Harmanpreet lbw before deceiving Sciver-Brunt into a soft return catch. Minnu Mani (3/17) continued the collapse, dismissing S Sajana and Amelia Kerr in the 15th over. A brilliant diving catch by Annabel Sutherland sent Kerr back, as Mumbai lost five wickets for just 23 runs, finishing at 123/9.

Chasing 124, Delhi started aggressively. Lanning hit back-to-back boundaries off Shabnim Ismail, while Shafali Verma took on Sciver-Brunt, smashing a six and two fours in a 16-run over. By the end of the PowerPlay, Delhi raced to 57/0, recording their 11th 50-run stand in WPL history. Shafali hammered two sixes off Amelia Kerr before falling to Amanjot Kaur for 43 off 28.
