Its MI vs DC final

Brilliant half-centuries by Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthew and a quickfire 36 by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur guided MI to their second WPL final. Chasing a stiff target of 213 in the Eliminator, GG lost wickets at regular intervals and caved in under scoreboard pressure. With the win, MI take their head-to-head record against GG to 7-0.

Hayley Matthews (3/31 in 3.2 overs), Amelia Kerr (2/26 in 4 overs), Nat Sciver-Brunt (1/31 in 4 overs), and Shabnim Ismail (1/35 in 4 overs) were among the wickets for MI.

It will be a repeat of the 2023 final when MI take on Delhi Capitals on Saturday.
