Winning the toss, the Delhi Capitals decided to ball. Meg Lanning got a good start as they got two quick wickets off Mumbai Indians. Later, the season's Orange Cap winner, Nat Sciver-Brunt, used her cutters to work their magic as DC once again broke under duress.
To add more magic to the match, captain Harmanpreet Kaur stepped in and scored 66 runs, which helped the team reach a total of 149 runs. Despite the eight-day interval between games, the Capitals maintained their dominant play in the PowerPlay and showed no signs of slowing down. With the help of Shikha Pandey and Kapp, who are experienced pacers, the team dismissed 23 dot balls in the opening six overs, giving Mumbai just 20 runs.
The Capitals were very active on the field and prevented the ball from reaching the boundary. Meg Lanning's team, which advanced straight to the final for the third time in three seasons, was unable to chase down 150 runs against Mumbai's formidable bowling order. In reply to the chase, the Delhi Capitals lost quick wickets of Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, Jess Jonassen, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Annabel Sutherland, which was the formidable lineup.
As the Mumbai bowlers continuously applied pressure. In the final, none of the Delhi hitters appeared, except Marizanne Kapp's valiant 40 off 26 balls. However, they could not build a partnership and lost the match by 8 runs. Delhi Capitals were playing in their third consecutive WPL final and again saw the trophy slipping out of their hands.
