About the Author

Sunil Garodia Anukriti is a student who dabbles in writing when she finds time.

Mumbai Indians started the tournament in a blazing manner and ended well to win the inaugural WPL by beating Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets. DC skipper Meg Lanning won the toss and elected to bat first. But they lost their way and were 79 for 9 in 16 overs and it seemed that it would be a one-sided contest. But then, tailenders Shikha Pandey (27 not out in 17 balls) and Radha Yadav (27 not out in 12 balls) stitched together a 52-run 10th wicket partnership that took them to 131 for 9 and breathed some life into the match. For Mumbai Indians, Hayley Matthews (3 for 5) and Issy Wong (3 for 42) did the damage. Shafali Verma's dismissal in the second over created a controversy as the batter thought the full toss was above waist height and hence a no-ball but the third umpire thought otherwise. DC skipper Meg Lanning was seen having an angry discussion with the on-field umpire.

When Mumbai batted, they were reduced to 23 for 2 in the fourth over. But the cool heads of Nat Sciver-Brunt (60 not out) and Harmanpreet Kaur (37) took them to 95 before Kaur was run out. Mumbai still needed 37 runs off just 23 balls. Amelia Kerr (14 off just 8 balls), who joined Sciver-Brunt, played well  and the duo added 39 runs in just 20 balls to take MI home.

With Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews and Issy Wong in their ranks, Mumbai Indians turned out to be the team to beat in the WPL. While Sciver-Brunt was the player of the finals, Hayley Matthews won the purple cap as well as the most valuable player award. Meg Lanning of DC won the orange cap. Harmanpreet won the catch of the tournament awards and Yashika Bhatia was the emerging player of the tournament. Sophie Devine won the most powerful striker award.
