At the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday, March 15, the Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W) defeated the Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) by eight runs to win their second Women’s Premier League (WPL) championship. Interestingly, the Delhi team has made it to all three finals but has lost each one.
Throughout the season, both sides had some outstanding players, but Nat Sciver-Brunt, an all-rounder for MI-W and England, was significantly superior to the others. The 32-year-old contributed significantly throughout, solidifying her position in the top tier. The Tokyo native amassed the best score of 523 runs in 10 innings at an average of 65.37. She gave up 7.94 runs per over and took 12 wickets in 10 innings, demonstrating her effectiveness with the ball.
Nat Sciver-Brunt thus took home the WPL 2025 Most Valuable Player Award.
The Englishwoman gave insight into her accomplishment and conveyed gratitude. She said that because of the nature of the game, she is currently savoring the moment.
It makes me really happy! I’ve had an incredible WPL season, and it’s made even more memorable by finishing as a winner. I’m really thankful to be standing here with this award after playing a lot of cricket up to this point. Because of the nature of the game, cricket is unpredictable; you could have a fantastic day or be out to an unplayable delivery. Knowing that obstacles are constantly present, I’m currently savoring the highs while they last,” Sciver-Brunt told JioHotstar.
Additionally, the all-rounder talked about her club and its members, describing them as “a family.” “Winning the title together is special,” she said.
“With so many elite all-round players who can stand up for the squad at any time, we have an amazing team. It has been an incredible tournament, and I feel so fortunate to be a member of this team. This franchise has evolved from a team to a family. It’s much more amazing when we win jointly, and we’re overjoyed,” Sciver-Brunt continued.
