KKN Gurugram Desk | The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is in full swing, and the league phase has reached its halfway point. A total of 20 matches are scheduled in this phase, and 10 of them have already been played. As of February 25, the match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants, which was the 10th of the season, concluded with a dominant victory for Delhi. This has given us a clearer picture of the current standings in the WPL 2025 points table.
Delhi Capitals: Dominating the League
At the top of the points table, Delhi Capitals are leading the pack with 6 points from 5 matches. The team has managed to win 3 out of the 5 games played so far. Their performance has been impressive, and they are looking strong as the tournament progresses. The team has shown consistency and resilience in their wins, establishing themselves as one of the top contenders for the playoffs.
Delhi’s strategy has paid off well, as they continue to lead with a decent margin. Their batting and bowling lineups have clicked together, making them a formidable force in the competition. While other teams are still trying to find their rhythm, Delhi seems to be in excellent form, and their players are contributing both with the bat and ball.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Close Behind Delhi
Following Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) sits in second place. They have played 4 matches so far, winning 2 and securing 4 points. Despite a couple of losses, RCB remains in a strong position due to their decent net run rate, which is better than Mumbai Indians, who also have 4 points. RCB has shown glimpses of their potential but will need to continue improving their consistency in the upcoming matches.
RCB has faced some challenges in the middle overs, but their star players are capable of turning matches around. If RCB continues their form, they can easily secure a spot in the playoffs. The team’s focus will be on improving their performance against the top teams in the league.
Mumbai Indians: Strong Contenders but Need to Step Up
Mumbai Indians (MI) occupy the third spot on the points table with 4 points from 3 matches, having won 2 out of the 3 games played. While their record is similar to that of RCB, MI’s net run rate is slightly inferior. This is the reason they are placed below RCB. MI’s performance has been solid, but they need to ensure that they capitalize on their wins and increase their net run rate in the remaining matches to maintain a competitive edge.
Mumbai has a well-balanced team with experienced players and emerging talents. Their batting has been solid, but their bowling department needs to perform better in crucial moments. MI will look to bounce back in their next match, with the goal of improving their position in the table.
UP Warriorz: Close Behind the Top Teams
UP Warriorz also have 4 points after playing 4 matches, winning 2 and losing 2. Despite having the same points as RCB and MI, their net run rate is lower, placing them in the fourth spot on the points table. UP Warriorz have been competitive but have faced difficulties in crucial moments, which has affected their overall position.
The team has some talented players, and they have the ability to make a comeback in the second half of the tournament. However, they must focus on maintaining consistency and managing the pressure in close matches. Their upcoming games will be critical in determining their chances of advancing to the playoffs.
Gujarat Giants: Struggling at the Bottom
At the bottom of the points table, Gujarat Giants are struggling with only 2 points from 4 matches. They have managed to win just 1 game, and their net run rate is currently in the negative. Although they are at the bottom, it is still early in the tournament, and they are not yet out of the race for the qualifiers. However, Gujarat Giants need to turn their fortunes around quickly if they are to remain in contention for a playoff spot.
The team has shown potential in certain moments but has been inconsistent in key areas. They will need to improve their overall game, particularly in the batting and bowling departments, to make a comeback in the remaining matches.
The Midway Point: What Lies Ahead?
With half of the league phase completed, the WPL 2025 is shaping up to be a highly competitive tournament. While Delhi Capitals lead the table, the race for the top spots remains tight. RCB, MI, and UP Warriorz are all in contention for a playoff spot, and the second half of the league phase will be crucial for all teams.
The upcoming matches will be pivotal in determining which teams make it to the playoffs. Every team will need to focus on improving their performance, especially in high-pressure situations, to secure a place in the knockout stage.
The Road Ahead: Key Matches to Watch
The next match on the calendar is between Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz on February 26 in Bengaluru. This match will be important for both teams as they are closely positioned on the points table.
