Anytime Mumbai Indians Women face off against Delhi Capitals Women in the WPL, you can just feel the tension. It’s become one of the league’s best rivalries, super close, too. They’ve clashed nine times already, with Mumbai just ahead at five wins to Delhi’s four. That’s barely an edge.
Go back to the very first WPL final in 2023. Mumbai made a real statement, taking the title and beating Delhi by seven wickets at Brabourne. That victory really kicked off the heat between these two.
Delhi didn’t sit back, though. In 2025, they came out swinging, won both league matches against Mumbai, and finished at the top of the table. For Delhi, that’s now three WPL finals and three heartbreaks, two of them at Mumbai’s hands.
