The WDPL 2025 Final was a nail-biter, decided by just 1 run, as Central Delhi Queens fell short while chasing 122. In spite of the brave efforts by Monika (33), Riya Shokeen (28*), and Deeksha Sharma (23), they were unable to cross the finish line. South Delhi Superstarz stayed calm and composed, and their accurate bowling led by Medhavi Bidhuri (3/26) and Himakshi Choudhary (2/18) made the difference. The inability of Queens to finish strong cost them the championship. Below are the main reasons that caused Central Delhi Queens to lose the match:

1. Lack of Big Partnerships

While Monika, Riya, and Deeksha all produced starts, no-one was able to push on into a match-winning score. Monika’s 33 was the highlight, but wickets kept falling when they really needed to form partnerships. Without good partnerships, Queens struggled to chase what was a modest target.

2. Middle-Order Collapse

At one stage, Queens were well-placed but lost momentum when the middle order couldn’t withstand the pressure. Medhavi Bidhuri’s double strike (3/26) triggered the collapse, leaving too much for the lower order. This stumble turned the chase into a tight finish.

3. Failure in the Final Overs

Riya Shokeen battled well with a good knock of 28 not out, but the team could have rotated the strike better or hit some boundaries in the death overs. The girls bowling tight overs were Himakshi Choudhary (2/18) and Disha Nagar (1/13) restricted runs, ensuring Queens fell short by just one run in the most crucial phase.

On Sunday, August 24, the South Delhi Superstarz Women will take on the Central Delhi Queens at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, in the grand finale of the Women’s Delhi Premier League 2025. Both teams have managed to win two out of three league matches. The Superstarz are at the top of the table due to a no-result game. After their previous victory, the Superstarz will certainly be looking to hold on to their psychological advantage, but the Queens will be aiming to get their revenge and win their first-ever title. The final will be a thrilling and high-quality game, as both teams are in excellent form.
