The inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL) final between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday evening is a clash between two strong captains as much as it is a big batting match-up between the Harmanpreet Kaur-led MI and Meg Lanning’s DC.
World Cup-winning Australian captain Lanning is WPL’s top run-scorer with 310, while Kaur has also displayed consistency in the tournament with 244 runs, inclusive of three half-centuries. Considering Lanning’s fighting spirit, Kaur reckoned the decider will be a tough challenge. “She [Lanning] is not someone who is dependent on the players. She always leads from the front. That is something you always want from your leader. When a leader comes and responds, the team always perform well. We learnt those things from her. I think tomorrow’s [Sunday] match is very important and I know she is not someone who gives up quickly. So, we have to fight till the end and our team are ready for that,” Kaur said on Saturday.
