Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) will take on Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W) at the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (March 26) night to clinch the first WPL title. It will also be a battle between two good captains Harmanpreet Kaur and Meg Lanning. While Lanning has won many ICC titles with Australian women's cricket team captain as captain, Harmanpreet has not won big title as skipper so far. The India captain will be aiming for her biggest title win so far. MI and DC have been two of the best sides in the tournament.
At the end of the league stage, DC-W and MI-W finished with same number of points (12). However, it was DC-W who qualified for the final directly from the league stage as they finished at the top of the points table with a slightly better NRR that Mumbai. Delhi's NRR was 1.856 while Mumbai's NRR was 1.711. As a result, Mumbai Indians had to play the Eliminator vs UP Warriorz which they won by 72 runs to qualify for the final.
