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.

East Delhi Riders Women just missed winning by 2 runs against North Delhi Strikers Women in Match 6 of the WDPL 2025. WEDR looked good to win when Aarna Dudeja scored a lovely half century but it turned out that late wickets and disciplined bowling took away the control of the game from them. The Strikers’ middle order took the game deep and the hard hitting at the death overs helped them win the game. Eventually, the Riders were at 116/4 in 17 overs and just 3 runs behind the target. Here are the top reasons why East Delhi Riders Women lost the match.

1. Exceptional middle-order resistance by NDS-W powered by Laxmi Yadav and Ayushi Soni

The Strikers bounced back from early losses with a key partnership between Ayushi Soni (40 off 31) and Laxmi Yadav (48* off 34). The made some vitally-run runs at a healthy run rate, to finish on a total of 118/5. This partnership swung momentum to NDS-W at the halfway mark. 

2. Tight, disciplined bowling—especially Shivani Jangid at the death overs

The Strikers bowled very disciplined, particularly in the last few overs when pressure was required. The spell from Shivani Jangid (2/19) was huge, while Nazma Khan's 1/11 from three overs kept things tight. This bowling has slowed the Riders' run rate to bring pressure just when they needed to accelerate.

3. Pressure-induced misplays at the crease under crunch situations

Although Aarna Dudeja made 56, the Riders lost wickets at key moments. The run-out of Urvashi Gupta and the loss of Purva Siwach, in quick succession, shrunk their target. Those misplays, spawned from pressure, meant EDR-W lost the match in tight circumstances.

The North Delhi Strikers Women (NDS-W) will play the East Delhi Riders Women (EDR-W) in an important WDPL 2025 match as both teams look to reignite their campaigns after disappointing starts. NDS-W had a rain-abandoned first fixture and lost their second, making this match all the more important in order to keep their hope for finals alive. EDR-W have yet to achieve victory in their campaign and currently sit at the bottom of the table and are looking to get a feel-good victory. It will take a good performance with both bat and ball for both teams to generate momentum in their seasons ahead.

The Riders Women are at the bottom of the table and have lost both of their matches heading into this match.

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium generally favors batters, and because of the short boundaries, it offers more opportunity for shot-making. It will be difficult for the bowlers, unless they are bright and clever with variations, particularly in the death overs. If they win the toss, batting first will be their preferred option.

North Delhi Strikers Women were defeated by one wicket in a nail-biting finish by Central Delhi Queens in Match 4 of the WDPL 2025 played at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Strikers-W, batting first, were restricted to 117/4 in 20 overs. Chasing, the Queens batted steadily to reach 120/9 in 19.5 overs with some valuable late-order runs. With this loss, the Strikers remain winless in the season. Here are the main reasons why the North Delhi Strikers Women lost the match.

1. Early Top-Order Collapse

The Strikers started poorly, losing Upasana Yadav (6 off 8) and Armeet Kaur (8 off 12) cheaply, and at 14/2, they weren't able to establish a strong opening platform, which put the Strikers' middle order under pressure from the beginning.

2. Slow Going in Middle Overs

Although Ayushi Soni (27 off 19) and Nazma Khan (40 off 30) did their best to rebuild the innings, the Strikers struggled to find the boundary regularly. Dot balls mounted up and after holding their innings together, they limped to 117/4 with a respectable but well under par score in T20 times.

3. Queens’ Gritty Lower-Order Chase

Despite losing wickets regularly, the Queens’ lower order showed remarkable composure. Monika (36 off 39) and Deeksha Sharma (25 off 21) steadied the innings before Parunika Sisodia (17 off 8) and Priya Mishra (4* off 1) sealed the chase at 120/9. Their calm and composure in high-pressure circumstances denied the Strikers the chance of a comeback.

The North Delhi Striker Women (NDS-W) will compete against Central Delhi Queens (CDQ) in Match 4 of WDPL 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, August 20. The Strikers played their first match but could not complete it because it was washed out after they scored only 58/2. They will be looking for their first win of the season. CDQ started their WDPL season with an emphatic seven-wicket win against East Delhi Riders. Both teams will be looking to get ahead of the pack in this match.
