Women’s Premier League 2023

Mumbai Indians W won the WPL 2023, led by Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, the team registered a victory in the first season.

The first-ever Women's Premier League champions, the Mumbai Indians, achieved history on Sunday, March 26. In a low-scoring run-chase, Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Melie Kerr maintained the chase going, and the MI camp rejoiced when Harmanpreet Kaur's strong start ended in a fall at the last available second.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians Women defeated Delhi Capitals by a score of (7) wickets in the finals.

Points Table 2023

If we compare the points table of 2023 with that of the current year. There aren’t any highlighting differences. In the WPL 2023, DC W and MI W were the top contenders and qualifiers for the finals. The story is no different in the WPL 2024.

The only difference is the rankings of the RCB W, in the first season they performed poorly. We saw a significant improvement in their performance. Currently, RCB W is standing in the 3rd position.

Gujarat Giants have been a consistent poor performer in both seasons. But let’s just focus on the teams that are qualified for the finals and will face each other in the final contest. Delhi Capitals W and Mumbai Indians W are likely to contest in the finals, just like the first WPL season of 2023. Guess history is repeating itself.

Present Scenario

The league is just two matches from the finals. Currently, Delhi Capitals W are leading the rankings table, and Mumbai Indians W is following them.

Both the teams have played (7) matches till now, won (5), and lost (2). The competition is cut-throat, and both teams are performing consistently.

One Team Has a Strong Hand!

Though both teams are ruthless to their opponents there’s one team that has a stronger hold on the game - Delhi Capitals W. Our analysts, marketers and almost everybody at ScoreWaves believes that Delhi is the strongest of them all.

It is not a vague statement. Delhi Capitals’ performance in almost all the matches of WPL 2024 has been incredible.

Let’s focus on the two games lost by the Capitals. First against Mumbai Indians W and second against UP Warriorz W.

In the first match against Mumbai Indians W, well, it was the first match of the WPL 2024, all the teams were getting the knack of it. In the second match against UP Warriorz W, Delhi Capitals lost by just one run. Delhi was a tough competition.
