Inaugural season champions Mumbai Indians have a strong side for the season, led by the legend Harmanpreet Kaur. Their side looks balanced in every sector, be it batters who can anchor the innings, destructive all-rounders, who are lethal with both bat and ball, and also quick wicket-takers. They fell short in the eliminator of WPL 2024, now they would look to forget that loss and start this season nicely.
Delhi Capitals are arguably the strongest side in WPL ever since it started in 2023. They have been the table-toppers in both the seasons, but have lost all finals and are trophyless. They would surely look to win this one and start the WPL 2025 league phase with a bang too.
