Mumbai Indians (MI) have won the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 and have etched their name forever in the history of women's cricket. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. beat the Delhi Capitals (DC) by seven wickets, caping off what has been a sensational WPL season.

The Capitals posted 131/9 in their 20 overs after a fantastic 52*-run stand between Radha Yadav and Shikha Pandey helped them post a defending total on the board. They also got off to a fantastic start with the ball, picking up a couple of wickets.

However, Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt showed enough experience to take their team out of the tricky situation. Nat and Amelia Kerr applied the finishing touches to what proved to be a professional chase.

Fans hailed Mumbai Indians for their fantastic run to the title and hailed their legacy. Here are some of the reactions:


Nat Sciver-Brunt stands tall for Mumbai Indians again

Nat Sciver-Brunt's sensational 72* in the Eliminator was crucial in taking Mumbai to the final. But she had to play a different kind of knock against DC, and she once again proved why she is known to be a big-match player.

Her unbeaten 60 off 55 balls ensured that Mumbai Indians didn't slip up after the dismissal of Harmanpreet. Amelia Kerr hit some lusty blows from the other end and that proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Delhi.

Harmanpreet has been a runner-up to Meg Lanning a number of times, so perhaps this victory will probably taste sweeter for her.
