Position	Team	Played	Won	Lost	Points	NRR
1	Delhi Capitals (Q)	7	5	2	10	+1.978
2	Mumbai Indians (Q)	7	5	2	10	+1.725

4	Royal Challengers Bangalore (E)	7	2	5	4	-1.044
5	Gujarat Giants (E)	8	2	6	4	-2.220

Q – Qualified for the playoffs. *E – Eliminated Tussle between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals Mumbai Indians has enjoyed dominance in the league stage for most part of the tournament. Two loses, one against UP Warriorz and against Delhi Capitals, have allowed the Capitals to nudge Mumbai out of the top spot.

1. Mumbai has one game left, vs Royal Challengers Bangalore.
2. If it wins that fixture and by a big margin, it stands a chance to topple Delhi and finish first.
3. But this will also need Delhi to lose its game against UP Warriorz.
4. Delhi will, likewise, need to win and hope for a Mumbai loss.
5. The advantage the Capitals have is that they will play after Mumbai and will have an idea about the margin of victory needed, should Mumbai win its game.

If both teams win their games, net run rate will decide who advances to the final. At the moment, DC has pipped MI in that department but it might all change on Tuesday evening,.

Who is the winner of WPL Season 1?

Mumbai Indians emerged as the winner of the inaugural edition of Women’s Premier League (WPL), defeating Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets in a tightly contested final played at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium on March 26. Put to bat second, the MI side had a reasonable target of 132 runs, which they ended chasing down in the 20th over against a tight DC bowling attack.

1. The run chase was led by English batter Nat Sciver-Brunt, who remained unbeaten for her knock of 60 runs off 55 balls.
2. She was accompanied for most of the innings by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 37 (39) before being run out in the 17th over.
3. Although DC was in the game till the 20th over due to the required run rate, the bowlers failed to tilt the game in their favour due to the failure to bag wickets.

After dismissing openers Hayley Mathews (13) and Yasika Bhatia (4), they failed to find any breakthrough. Earlier, skipper Meg Lanning (35 off 29 balls) was the top-scorer for DC. Shafali Verma (11) and Marizanne Kapp (18) also reached double figures but could not capitalise on as DC were looking down the barrel at 79 for 9 in 16 overs.

• Shikha Pandey (27 not out) and Radha Yadav (27 not out) then added 52 runs off just 24 balls to take DC to a competitive score.
• Matthews returned with incredible figures of 4-2-5-3, while Issy Wong (3/42) continued her sensational run, claiming three more wickets and Melie Kerr (2/18) was the other wicket taker for MI.

Brief Score: Delhi Capitals: 131 for 9 in 20 overs (Meg Lanning 35; Hayley Matthews 3/5, Issy Wong 3/42). Mumbai Indians: 134 for 3 in 19.3 overs (Nat Sciver-Brunt 60 not out, Harmanpreet kaur 37; Radha Yadav 1/24). With PTI inputs

Can 5 foreign players play in WPL?

Delhi Capitals took the field with five overseas players in the playing XI during the side’s opening match of the WPL against Royal Challengers Bangalore. – After a blistering start to the Women’s Premier League on Saturday night that saw Mumbai Indians thrashing Gujarat Giants by 143 runs, the action moved to Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai where Smriti Mandhana ‘s Royal Challengers Bangalore took on the Delhi Capitals. Smriti Mandhana (L) with Meg Lanning(WPL) Like the Indian Premier League, there has been a four-overseas player limit in place in the WPL as well; however, in the latter, it also has a twist. In the rules for the women’s league, the BCCI has allowed a fifth overseas slot if the concerned cricketer is from an associate nation.

1. In the auction earlier this year, Delhi Capitals were the only side that added an associate player to their roster, signing Tara Norris of the United States of America.
2. Also read: ‘I don’t like the kind of.’: Smriti Mandhana’s brilliant statement to shut down comparison talks with Kohli at RCB Norris is part of the XI in Delhi Capitals’ opener against RCB, thus taking the fifth overseas slot in the XI.

The other four overseas players include captain Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Alice Capsey, and Jess Jonassen. Bangalore, meanwhile, boast of a fiery overseas lineup in their playing XI, taking the field in the opener with Sophie Devine, Heather Knight, Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt.

Earlier in the first game of the WPL, Harmanpreet Kaur unleashed havoc on the Giants bowlers as she smashed a brilliant 65 off just 30 deliveries, while Hayley Matthews (47) and Amelia Kerr (45*) also made important contributions to take MI to a mammoth score of 207/5 in 20 overs. The Giants, in the run-chase, endured a disappointing batting collapse as they were bundled on 64, with their captain Beth Mooney being retired hurt early in the innings.

In Mooney’s absence, Sneh Rana was the stand-in captain for the Giants and the Indian all-rounder is expected to lead the side in their second match of the tournament later on Sunday against UP Warriorz.
