Ahead of the Women's Premier League 2025 final against Delhi Capitals in Mumbai on Saturday, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hayley Matthews expressed her excitement and said that she is hopeful that they can repeat what they did in the 2023 season where they defeated the Capitals (by seven wickets) to clinch the title.

Mumbai Indians qualified for the final of the Women's Premier League 2025 by beating Gujarat Giants by 47 runs in the Eliminator fixture at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Hayley Matthews starred with both bat and ball in Mumbai's dominating win.

Shabnim struck for Mumbai when Beth Mooney's outside edge was pouched by Hayley, moving to her right at first slip. Harleen Deol and Danielle Gibson hit five boundaries between themselves before the former was run out by an accurate throw from Sanskriti Gupta and Yastika Bhatia, dislodging the stumps in time.

On a fresh pitch, knocks of 77 each from Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt, along with a breathtaking 36 from captain Harmanpreet Kaur, took MI to a massive total.

England's Nat Sciver-Brunt and West Indies' Hayley Matthews led Mumbai Indians to a 47-run win over Gujarat Giants to reach the final of the Women's Premier League. Mumbai will face table-toppers Delhi Capitals in a repeat of the inaugural final on Saturday (14:00 GMT).
