Big players rise on big occasions, and Harmanpreet Kaur once again proved why she is one of the finest match-winners in women's cricket. The Mumbai Indians (MI) captain played a scintillating knock in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 final, smashing a crucial 33-ball fifty to rescue her team from early trouble against Delhi Capitals (DC). Walking in at a precarious 14/2 in 4.3 overs, Kaur took charge after MI’s openers, Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia, fell cheaply. With Delhi Capitals bowlers dictating terms early on, the experienced campaigner absorbed the pressure before launching a stunning counter-attack. Her innings was a perfect blend of resilience and aggression, turning the tide in MI’s favor when it mattered the most. Harmanpreet’s Heroics Shift Momentum Harmanpreet initially focused on stabilizing the innings alongside Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has been in sublime form throughout the season. The turning point came in the 10th over when Kaur decided to shift gears, taking on Annabel Sutherland with a six and a four to break the shackles. The next over saw Kaur dominate Jess Jonassen, smashing three consecutive boundaries to announce her intent. Her aggressive approach not only relieved pressure but also put the Delhi Capitals' bowlers on the back foot, allowing Mumbai to build a solid platform for a competitive total.
