WPL 2025 – A Statistical Review Of A Thrilling Season

The Women’s Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025) season has concluded, and as the dust settles, it leaves behind a trail of remarkable records, standout performances, and intriguing trends. 

Mumbai Indians (MI) emerged victorious yet again, solidifying their dominance in the tournament, while Delhi Capitals (DC) were left heartbroken for the third consecutive time in the final. Let’s dive into the numbers that defined this exhilarating edition of the WPL.

Three Finals, Three Heartbreaks

The Delhi Capitals have now established an unfortunate pattern of faltering at the final hurdle. After finishing as runners-up in 2023 and 2024, they once again ended up on the wrong side of the result in the 2025 final. Despite boasting a formidable squad and consistently performing throughout the league stage, their inability to get over the line in the biggest match remains a major talking point.

Mumbai Indians’ Brabourne Fortress

One of the biggest takeaways from WPL 2025 was Mumbai Indians’ dominance at Brabourne Stadium. Their win-loss record at the venue now stands at an astounding 7-1, with their only defeat coming against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the final league match of the season. Interestingly, both of MI’s WPL title wins have come at this historic ground, making it their happy hunting ground.

Sciver-Brunt Claims the Orange Cap

Nat Sciver-Brunt stamped her authority with the bat, clinching the Orange Cap with 523 runs. In the process, she also breached the 1,000-run mark in WPL history, further cementing her legacy as one of the premier batters in the competition.

Kerr and Matthews Dominate

The Purple Cap went to Amelia Kerr, who picked up 18 wickets, making her the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. However, she wasn’t alone at the top. Her MI teammate Hayley Matthews also claimed 18 wickets, making them joint holders of the record for the most wickets in a single WPL season.

Moreover, both Kerr and Matthews have now climbed to the top of the all-time WPL wicket-takers list, with Matthews leading the chart at 41 wickets, followed closely by Kerr at 40 scalps. Their consistency across seasons has made MI’s bowling attack a force to be reckoned with.

Highest Team Total in WPL History

The batters in WPL 2025 put up some thrilling performances, with UP Warriorz (UPW) smashing a record-breaking 225/5 against RCB, the highest team total ever recorded in the league. 

The innings was a masterclass in aggressive stroke play and calculated acceleration, setting a benchmark for future WPL teams.

Georgia Voll’s Record-Equalling Knock

Georgia Voll made headlines by equalling the record for the highest individual score in WPL history – 99 runs. 

She joined Sophie Devine, who had set the record in WPL 2023. Voll’s innings against RCB was a near-perfect display of skill and composure, though she narrowly missed out on a century.

The Role of Toss– A Tournament Defined by Chasing

A fascinating pattern emerged in WPL 2025 – captains showed an overwhelming preference for chasing. In all 22 matches, the team winning the toss chose to bowl first, highlighting the belief in chasing as the more effective strategy.

• Vadodara: The chasing teams reigned supreme, winning all six matches played at this venue.
• Bengaluru: Batting first proved to be a disadvantage, as only one team managed to defend their total in eight games.
• Brabourne Stadium: Despite the trend of teams opting to bowl first, all four matches at this venue were won by the team batting first, including the grand finale. This anomaly might prompt a rethink of tactics in future editions.

What’s Next for WPL?

With WPL 2025 setting new benchmarks, the league continues to grow in stature. The records set this season indicate a rise in the quality of competition, with both bat and ball playing a crucial role. As teams analyze their performances and prepare for the next edition, one thing is certain – WPL is evolving into a premier event that showcases the best of women’s T20 cricket.

Will Delhi Capitals finally break their final jinx in 2026? Can Mumbai Indians continue their Brabourne dominance?

And will we see a century in WPL soon? Only time will tell. But for now, WPL 2025 will be remembered as a season of milestones, heartbreaks, and absolute cricketing brilliance.
