WPL 2025: Predicting Mumbai Indians Women’s Playing XI for the Finals against Delhi Capitals Women

After defeating the Gujarat Giants Women by 47 runs in the eliminator, Mumbai Indians Women will take on the Delhi Capitals Women in the ultimate final of the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025). The game will be played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, 15, at 8:00 PM (IST).

MI-W finished in the second spot in the league stage, with five wins and three defeats in their eight games. They lost to RCB by a narrow 11-run margin in the last game of their league campaign. Later, they defeated GG-W in the Eliminator to secure a spot in the final. Now, MI-W will be eyeing beating Delhi Capitals to lift their second WPL title.

With that said, here we’ll look at the predicted playing XI of the Mumbai Indians Women for the final clash against Delhi Capitals Women.

Openers – Yastika Bhatia (WK) and Hayley Matthews

The MI-W will look ahead to field the unchanged opening pair of wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews in the playing XI for the WPL 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals. Bhatia failed to convert her good start into a big knock in the eliminator against GG-W but she will be eyeing a strong comeback in the summit clash.

On the other hand, Hayley Matthews played a decisive and brilliant knock of 77 runs off just 50 balls, with 10 fours and three sixes to help MI-W post a 200+ total on the board. Besides her 77-run knock, Matthews also scalped three crucial wickets with the ball in the second innings against GG-W.

Middle-Order – Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Sajeevan Sajana, and G Kamalini

The middle-order of the MI-W will start with the star in-form number three batter and all-rounder, Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has been in sensational batting form in the tournament’s current edition. She played a blistering knock of 77 runs off just 41 balls, with 10 fours and two sixes in the last game against GG-W and also stitched a match-winning third-wicket partnership of 133 runs with Hayley Matthews.

Sciver-Brunt will be followed by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur at number four; Kaur played a quick fiery knock of 36 runs off just 12 balls, with two fours and four massive sixes. Later in the middle-order, Sajeevan Sajana and G Kamalini can also contribute with some crucial runs.

All-Rounders – Amelia Kerr and Amanjot Kaur

The all-rounder duo for MI-W might include the WPL 2025 purple cap holder, Amelia Kerr and Amanjot Kaur. Notably, Kerr has awed everyone with her amazing bowling performances in the ongoing WPL 2025. She also claimed 2 wickets at just 28 runs in her four overs in the Eliminator against GG-W. Besides that, she can also contribute with the bat.

On the other hand, Amanjot Kaur can also be a vital cog in the wheel for MI-W, both with the bat and the ball. So, it will be a perfect all-rounder duo of Karr and Kaur for MI-W in the summit clash against Delhi Capitals.

Bowlers – Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, and Saika Ishaque

The bowling trio of MI-W is expected to include two spinners, Sanskriti Gupta and Saika Ishaque, alongside a pace support from Shabnim Ismail. However, Sanskriti didn’t get a chance to bowl in the last game but the skipper might utilize her in the final on the spin-friendly track of Brabourne.

On the other hand, Shabnim Ismail scalped 1 wicket at 35 runs in her four overs during the game against GG-W, alongside an over bowled by Saika Ishaque. The trio might play a crucial role for MI-W in the title clash against DC-W.
