Not one to allow for three-time appearances at the WPL finals in 2025, the Delhi Capitals have leveled up this time to showcase their grit, skill, and teamwork. Throughout the tournament, they have put on impressive displays of skills under the very deft captaincy of Meg Lanning, the Australian cricketing great.

Features of the Season:

Consistency at its Peak: The Capitals marched right into finals by leading the 2025 WPL points standing with five out of eight matches.

Dominating Displays: The season's highlight was undoubtedly their smashing nine-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore made possible by a gigantic partnership between Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen for 146.

All-Round Glory: Alice Capsey's all-round game on show in the contest against UP Warriorz (3-26 with ball and crucial 34 runs) sums up the talent pool and flexibility on offer from the side.

The Last Showdown: 

Finally, at the final of the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, up against the Mumbai Indians, the Capitals set themselves to bring home their first WPL title. They restricted Mumbai by fielding first to 149 with Marizanne Kapp coming up with an economical 2/11. Despite their chase, including a victorious Kapp effort of 40 runs, Delhi missed the target by eight, wrapping up 141/5. 

Leadership and Team Spirit: 

It is largely due to Lanning's not conveying a winning mentality but more importantly clarity within the squad. Jemimah Rodrigues praised Lanning's style, saying it's based on remaining cool under aggression-a pretty important feature in a leader. 

The Way Ahead 

The title trophy is yet to be glorified, but the Capitals that have cleaned up their finals appearances surely become a rich legacy in not only women's but also world cricket. The virtues of solidarity, professionalism, and zeal promise that it is a matter of time before they actualize greatness.
