Natalie Ruth Sciver-Brunt Supremacy

Mumbai Indians Take WPL Crown, As Nerves frayed and fingers sweated, spectators twitched in their seats and support staff wore anxious faces. However, amidst all the tension and suspense, Nat Sciver-Brunt remained calm and ensured that the first name inscribed on the WPL Trophy 2023 would be that of Mumbai Indians (MI). She fittingly wrapped up the game with a scooped-over, which was her most audacious stroke of the night.

In the end, she allowed herself a bit of indulgence, as it was a rare occurrence in her unbeaten 60 off 55 balls. Her performance was reminiscent of finishing school. Although she had recently scored a 38-ball 72 in the eliminator, showcasing her big-hitting abilities, she displayed remarkable restraint for most of her knock, relying on singles from nudges and deflections. At the beginning of her innings, she held herself back, scoring only seven runs from 17 balls. Despite this, she was a valuable presence throughout the match.

Dhoni has a unique way of playing cricket. He makes it appear like a struggle, even a lost cause, but he diligently works towards the target, pushing the opponent back inch by inch before delivering the knockout punches. When Sciver-Brunt hit Radha Yadav over extra-cover in the eighth over, it seemed like she was about to break free. However, she continued to grit and graft.

The early stages of her 71-run partnership with Harmanpreet Kaur were played at a similar tempo. Both were content with scoring at five runs an over, chasing a target of 131, which was not too steep but not an easy task either. Towards the end of the partnership, Harmanpreet Kaur picked up the pace, hitting timely boundaries and ensuring that the required run rate did not soar over 10 runs. Sciver-Brunt also contributed with an occasional four, including a gorgeous steer off Shikha Pandey.

The players worked together to reduce the target to a manageable 37 runs from 24 balls. However, just as they were about to secure the win, Shikha Pandey ran Harmanpreet Kaur out with a quick and flat throw to Alice Capsey, who dislodged the stumps with lightning-fast hands.

Brabourne Supremacy: Mumbai Indians Take WPL Crown

At this crucial moment, Nat-Sciver chose to counterattack, demonstrating the skill of a finisher who knows when to strike. Capsey’s off-breaks posed little threat, and Sciver hit two boundaries – a powerful sweep and a polished reverse sweep.

These runs proved to be valuable as Shikha Pandey returned to bowl a fantastic 18th over, costing only five runs. Shikha Pandey had played a significant role in Delhi Capitals score of 131, having scored 52 runs with Radha Yadav and delivering four economical overs. However, it was Sciver-Brunt’s night, and she remained calm and collected under pressure. Delhi Capitals defeat was due to their self-defeating tactics. Mumbai Indians take WPL Crown at the end of the match.

As Per Mumbai Indians Take WPL Crown, During the match, Mumbai Indians required 22 runs from 12 balls. One of the players, Jess Jonassen, bowled a ball outside the off-stump which was hit by another player through a backward square leg to relieve some of the pressure. The player’s partner, Amelie Kerr, then secured Mumbai Indians victory by hitting fours off the fourth and fifth balls. In the following over, Sciver-Brunt made a memorable stroke that was celebrated by the enthusiastic supporters of Mumbai Indians (MI), although not as famously as Dhoni’s World Cup-sealing six at Wankhede.

As Per Mumbai Indians Take WPL Crown, Unfortunately, Delhi Capitals (WPL) had only its own self-defeating methods to blame for its defeat.

It might be a bit embarrassing to rewatch the highlight reel of the game due to the team’s poor performance. They misjudged the nature of the wickets, made indiscreet shot selections, and were easily rattled by the slightest hint of trouble. Although Mumbai Indians (WPL) bowlers were skilled and persistent, they would acknowledge that most of the wickets were given to them by the opposing team.

Isabelle Wong, with her crew-cut and infectious giggles, couldn’t believe her luck when she managed to take three wickets in a row, which were also the first three wickets of Delhi’s innings. Her initial performance was not great, as Shafali Varma hit her for a six and a four. However, she managed to make a comeback and took a hat trick with her third ball. Verma misjudged a dipping full-toss that was slightly below waist-high and ended up slicing it to the point.

Isabelle Wong’s good fortune continued as she managed to take another wicket with a full toss just two balls later. Alice Capsey ended up spooning the ball to cover, where Amanjot Kaur made a diving catch to save the ball from hitting the ground. However, Delhi’s two most experienced batters, Meg Lanning and Jemimah Rodrigues, managed to withstand the pressure and put up a counter-attacking partnership of 23 runs in just 15 balls. Jemimah was in excellent form, hitting a couple of beautiful cover drives with ease. This was not a one-off occurrence, as Wong continued to receive gifts from the opposition.

Just as Jemimah sweet-spotted a low, slow full toss, another Wong-full toss struck. Unfortunately, it went straight to the point fielder, leaving Jemimah crestfallen and her teammates dazed. However, with a 38-run Lanning, Marizanne Kapp was able to rebuild and seemed to be leading them toward redemption. Sadly, Kapp’s exit brought a heap of wickets, and Delhi Capitals imploded farcically.


After reaching 73 for three, they suddenly plummeted to 79 for 9 due to a strange period of terrible stroke-making. Despite Pandey and Yadav’s efforts to bring them back into the game, Mumbai Indians (WPL) remained unfazed, especially with Sciver-Brunt, who was trained in the MS Dhoni finishing school, on their side. Sciver-Brunt ultimately sealed the victory for Mumbai Indians (WPL). After a thrilling match, Mumbai Indians Take WPL Crown.
