The Mumbai Indians triumphed in the Women's Premier League on Saturday, securing their second title by narrowly defeating the Delhi Capitals by eight runs. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's stellar 66-run innings and an all-round contribution from Nat Sciver-Brunt were pivotal in their victory.

Delhi, who had qualified for their third consecutive final, struggled under pressure during their 150-run chase. While Marizanne Kapp and Jemimah Rodrigues staged a resistance, the Mumbai bowlers, led by Sciver-Brunt who took three wickets, ensured a thrilling win by striking regularly.
