WPL Points Table 2025 Latest Updated After RCB vs MI WPL 2025 Match

RCB vs MI WPL: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have defeated the Mumbai Indians in the last match of the league stage, and the Delhi Capitals have again qualified directly for the finals of the tournament.

RCB finally got a win, and it took a lot of runs batting first to cover up the weak bowling lineup. This win for RCB won't be very helpful in the Points Table, but they will be pleased with how they ended the season. 

Let's take a loot at the match summary and the WPL Points table 2025 after RCB vs MI:

RCB vs MI WPL Match Summary

It was an important match for the Mumbai Indians, and Harmanpreet started things off by winning the toss. Batting second was a no-brainer. Royal Challengers Bengaluru strengthened their batting today, and it was pretty evident with the aggressive start.

RCB Batting First

Smriti Mandhana showcased her trademark elegance, while Sabbhineni Meghana provided the early fireworks. Meghana’s aggressive start was cut short in the fourth over, bringing the orange cap holder, Ellyse Perry, to the crease. Mandhana and Perry then built a solid 60-run partnership in seven overs, laying the foundation for a formidable total.

Mandhana’s fluent 37-ball 53 came to an end when she was caught by Ismail off Kerr’s bowling. In came Richa Ghosh, and she wasted no time in stamping her authority, smashing a quickfire 36 off 22 balls to keep the momentum alive.

At the other end, Perry was dispatching MI’s bowlers with authority, but it was Georgia Wareham who provided the late blitz. She hammered 31 runs off just 10 balls, propelling RCB to a commanding total of 199 in their 20 overs.

MI’s Chase: A Lone Battle

Chasing 200, Mumbai Indians needed a blazing start, but Sneh Rana struck early, dismissing Hayley Matthews. Amelia Kerr struggled for 10 balls before falling to Rana in her second over, putting MI under immediate pressure.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur tried to anchor the innings but failed to find her timing. Amanjot Kaur, Yastika Bhatia, Kamalini, and Sanskriti Gupta all fell while trying to keep up with the soaring required run rate.

However, Nat Sciver-Brunt stood tall, single-handedly keeping MI in the contest. Her breathtaking 69 off 35 balls gave MI a glimmer of hope, but Perry’s well-disguised slower delivery ended her resistance.

With 44 runs needed off the final 12 balls, MI’s chances were slim. S Sajana fought till the end, but RCB held their nerve, sealing an 11-run victory in the final league stage match.

Inference: A good match and result for the defending champions, but this will be the end of the road for them in the tournament. They ended up winning three matches out of 8, placing at 4th spot on the table. 

For Mumbai Indians, a win here would have guaranteed a safe berth in the finals of the tournament, but now, after the loss against RCB, they have to play the eliminator match against Gujarat Giants on 13th March at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Delhi Capitals have ended at the top of the table and will play the final of the tournament against the winners of the eliminators. Delhi Capitals have qualified for the finals in all three seasons of WPL till now and let see if they can lift the cup this year.
