From match-winning innings to breathtaking bowling efforts, several players left an indelible mark on the tournament. Here’s a look at the top five standout performances of WPL 2025.  

1. Harmanpreet Kaur (66 Off 44 vs DC)

Mumbai Indians’ (MI) skipper Harmanpreet Kaur silenced all doubts with an exceptional campaign, leading her side to their second WPL title. She made 302 runs in 10 innings at a blistering strike rate of 154.87.  

Her finest moment came in the final against Delhi Capitals, where she played a captain’s knock of 66 off 44 balls. After MI’s openers fell early, she, along with Nat Sciver-Brunt, stitched a crucial 89-run partnership, stabilising the innings and setting up a winning total.

Nat Sciver-Brunt was the most dominant player of WPL 2025, securing the Orange Cap with 523 runs at an astonishing average of 65.37 and a strike rate of 152.27. 

In the final, she contributed a valuable 30 off 28 balls, but it was her bowling that truly made the difference. Sciver-Brunt picked up three crucial wickets, maintaining an economy rate of 7.50.
