Marizanne Kapp of DC Women was in tears of shock when her team lost the championship game by a mere eight runs. As colleagues Jemimah Rodrigues and Sarah Bryce attempted to comfort the South African all-rounder, Kapp was crying and covering her face with her palms, unable to process the close loss. Fans have already liked and quoted a video of the event that has been making the rounds on social media.
Like any other sport, cricket has two sides to its match. Even while the victorious team rejoices, the losers are frequently left out of the spotlight, particularly when it’s a tournament final. On Saturday, March 15, after the Mumbai Indians Women defeated the Delhi Capitals Women to win the WPL 2025 championship, similar events took place in Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.

I made a lot of effort and made progress, ft. Marizanne Kapp
After bowling first in the top match at Brabourne, DC got off to a fast start. Kapp was the ball hero, taking a few wickets during the powerplay to immediately put pressure on MI. The Cape Province-born bowler finished her spell with impressive figures of 4-0-11-2 after bowling all four overs in a row. However, Mumbai reached 149-7 at the conclusion of 20 overs with to an outstanding partnership between Harmanpreet Kaur (66 off 44) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (30 off 28).
Delhi had a terrible start to the chase after losing both of their top openers, Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma, in the first three overs. Annabel Sutherland and Jess Jonassen also were unable to get underway. At this point, Kapp took over with the bat and formed a significant alliance with Jemimah. But after the latter left, things took a turn for the worst.
With her counterattacking 40 from 26 balls, Marizanne Kapp attempted to keep DC in the hunt, but Delhi lost by a few runs in the last over due to a lack of support from the other end. This was Delhi’s third straight final defeat while Lanning was captain.
