21 matches and 29 days after the commencement of the third season of the Women’s Premier League, it is time for the culmination to an action-packed season. Having topped the table for the third time in a row, Delhi Capitals will clash against Mumbai Indians in the final match at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday.

At 8.51, Delhi is the only team with an average run rate in excess of 8.5 in WPL history. A batting average of 28.42 is also the highest. Additionally, nine losses across three seasons are the joint-lowest alongside their imminent opponents. That said, they wouldn’t want to taste a 10th loss this year for it will deny them of lifting the silverware for the third successive time.

Having defeated Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator last night, Mumbai, on the contrary, have won the most WPL matches till date – 19. More importantly, once the first team to win a WPL title, they could now become the first team to win two WPL titles.

You don’t have to be an ardent follower of the game to know that the pitch at this iconic venue has a soft corner for batters. An average innings total of 185.83 across six WPL 2025 innings is a testament to the same.

For stadiums which have hosted at least five WPL matches thus far, Brabourne’s average run rate of 8.69 is the highest. That even the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has a run rate of <8 highlights batters’ domination at the CCI.

Therefore, another high-scoring contest shouldn’t come as a surprise. With all three matches played at this stadium this season won by teams batting first, the toss has it in it to prove advantageous.

As far as the two finalists’ record at the Brabourne Stadium is concerned, DC have won and lost a couple of matches each here. MI, who defeated them during WPL 2023 final at this ground, have won six out of their seven matches here.
