The Capitals’ better net run rate, though, ensured their place in the finals. The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, had to compete in the Elimination match against the UP Warriorz, but their perseverance and hard work paid off as they were able to advance to the final match.
Due to the fact that both teams have been equally dominant throughout the tournament, this title game is sure to be a thrilling contest. The Women’s Premier League 2023 will have its ultimate champions determined by the struggle for supremacy in this championship game.
