12:38pm That, after almost a month of exhilarating WPL action, will be a wrap from us. It was another whirlwind tournament, with drama galore. In the end, the Mumbai Indians had too much for the Delhi Capitals, and for the rest of the competition, and they will go down in WPL history as the first two-time winners ever.

We hope you enjoyed our coverage throughout the tournament, including tonight. And we would love your company for all the cricket that is lined up over the next few months. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Ranjith and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo. Goodbye, goodnight and take care, folks!

12:33am And now...for the big moment. Harmanpreet walks up and collects the WPL trophy before handing it over to Sanskriti Gupta, who is soon joined by Saika Ishaque and a host of teammates. They all pose together and the fireworks go off now, with "Mumbai, Mumbai" chants clearly audible. This is a proper team and on the big night, they reiterated their pedigree.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the Mumbai Indians captain is also the Player of the Match: It was a great team effort. I would like to congratulate Delhi team, it was not easy for us. At the end of the day, you feel happy, really happy with the way we played. We fought till the last ball, all about being there and doing the right things again and again. (On her batting approach) It was not easy when I went in. But I had that belief that if I stayed there and kept rotating strike, and with Nat there, I did not need to take risks. Just wanted to support her. Partnership was amazing, wanted to keep things simple and easy. We took calculated risks and that helped us. (On their score) 150 was not a decent total, but in matches like that, pressure games, it always looks like 180 and credit goes to our bowlers. They had that belief they could give us breakthroughs in the powerplay. They (Ismail and Sciver-Brunt) created that opportunity for us and got us the game. Really happy the way everyone bowled in the team today. We made things very clear for everyone, had one-to-one meetings to clear their roles. We knew we had four experienced bowlers, and we knew whoever is in the game that day, we will give them the opportunity to do that (bowl those four overs) for us. They (Ishaque, Amanjot, Gupta) knew their roles and really enjoyed a lot playing with them. It (this win) means a lot. First season, we tried to do everything right. When we met this season, we discussed how things did not go right (last season). We wanted to keep things simple and as a team, we did that. Really happy we got support from the support staff, and really happy the way we played.

Meg Lanning, Delhi Capitals captain: We have had another good season but unfortunately could not get over the line. Full credit to Mumbai - they have been excellent throughout and thoroughly deserved their win. We could not get it together with the bat, 150 was a good target for us. Another partnership for a couple of overs might have given us a chance. We are all pretty disappointed. (On having a long break before the final) I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it and about performing on the night, and they were too good for us tonight. We have not been able to put our best performances on the board in the final, which is disappointing but that is cricket. We prepped to do as well as we could. It has been different each time. We put ourselves in a good position but you win some, you lose some.

Nat Sciver-Brunt, Player of the Tournament: It has been a great year for me in the WPL. To come off the back of a lot of cricket, so happy to be standing here as a winner. I will ride the highs as long as I can, because I am sure there are some lows around the corner as well - but that is cricket. Just happy to ride those highs whilst I can. We have a great amount of all-rounders and world-class players who can stand up at any time. Very lucky to be part of that team. It is so special to be a part of a franchise that has become family. Really, really happy.

Chinelle Henry wins the award for having the highest strike-rate this season. Ashleigh Gardner, meanwhile, wins the award for hitting the most sixes this season. Annabel Sutherland takes home the Catch of the Season award for her effort against the Mumbai Indians in Bengaluru.

Shabnim Ismail, on the other hand, wins the award for bowling the most dot balls this season. Amanjot Kaur, who impressed with bat, ball and in the field, wins the Emerging Player of the Season award. Gujarat Giants, who came to within one game of the final, win the Fair Play Award. Nat Sciver-Brunt wins the Orange Cap, while Amelia Kerr wins the Purple Cap.

12:08am The post-match presentation is about to begin. Sit tight, folks.

11:59pm The Mumbai Indians are all smiles, with captain Harmanpreet involved in a conversation with owner Nita Ambani. Stick around, we will bring the captains' thoughts and hear from the Player of the Match soon.

Sanskriti Gupta: As soon as we reached that score, we knew we would win it. I had confidence in my team. I have been playing cricket for the past ten years, so it did not feel like my first time. I want to feel this (winning feeling) every time.

Amanjot Kaur: Because we have won before, expectation can be a little more. But we have played big games before, so it did not feel like (a very different occasion). Our team meetings are simple. They had won before us, but today was a new day, new match. We had good depth and we would not leave this game for anyone (else to win).

Saika Ishaque: (On her wicket) I was not trying to take a wicket, I wanted to bowl a dot ball and the wicket came. Happy that I could do something for the team in the final.

Amelia Kerr: She (Kamalini) has been awesome. That is the beauty of this competition - you are going to see so many people come through and play on the big stage. Both very good players - world-class in what they do, so nice to contribute. (On winning T20 WC and WPL) It has been a good year for me, pretty special. Stoked that I get to share the dressing room with some great people. When all is said and done, you are celebrating with great people.

G Kamalini: Little nervous but I enjoyed a lot of batting. My family would also have enjoyed. It was my first six, so it was very exciting. All of them fielded like tigers in the field. (On her learnings) In the WPL, I learnt a lot on the mental side.

S Sajana: Very proud and very happy to be a part of this family. They keep supporting, the backing of each other, the energy, on and off the field - it is amazing. We could not make it (last season), but this season, we planned well, so much hard work went in behind the scenes, so we have to give this trophy to all those who worked behind us. (On young girls in Kerala looking at her like a role model) I am really proud of myself but I just want to tell people who are looking up to me to be positive and never give up, even if people try to pull you down. Keep believing in yourself and keep working.

Shabnim Ismail: My first MI final and so happy that we could conquer today. I came out here and when I bowled the first ball…Harry was expecting me to take the first ball. Extremely happy (when NSB picked Lanning and I dismissed Shafali) and we carried that momentum throughout. So happy to be a part of this historic team.

Yastika Bhatia: Incredible feeling. To do it front of a home crowd, no better feeling. I enjoy keeping against all the greats of the game and lucky to have them in my team, because I don't have to face them.

Jhulan Goswami, MI bowling coach: (On Ismail) What a brilliant performance. When the team needed it, to come and produce a performance like this. She is a fighter, she wants to lead from the front. That is what we want as a group. When you are in the dugout, you cannot be calm but you have to pretend to be calm. We needed wickets in the powerplay, and that was the clear message. When that happened, we felt we were in a position to control the game, and that made our dugout absolutely calm. (On the Goswami-Edwards coaching partnership) It started after retirement, working with her. It was a great learning experience and every moment, I learn new things. A very tactical person, and she always keeps me on her toes. When we used to play as opponents, we learnt from her mentality and leadership, and here also, trying to do the same. This team has plenty of potential. We have depth in the batting, lot of international stars, lots of promising youngsters - it is a well-balanced team, and it is important to keep them in the right frame of mind and give them space to enjoy their game. (What impressed her the most in season three) Nat's commitment. We all know her partner is expecting (a baby). To come here, take leadership and dominate - it is not easy. And some youngsters who performed brilliantly for us.

11:31pm Think Real Madrid and the UEFA Champions League, FC Barcelona and the UEFA Women's Champions League lately, Australia and Cricket World Cups (across genders and formats), Rafael Nadal and the French Open - that is the sort of aura the Mumbai Indians now carry in the WPL. They almost feel...inevitable.

They had to do it the hard way tonight. They only had 150 to defend, but they defended it like champions. NSB removed Lanning early, with Ismail doing something similar to Shafali. Kerr then stood up (like she always does), and NSB returned to dismiss Kapp, which proved to be the final nail in the DC coffin.

DC, once the dust settles, will look at this as a huge missed opportunity. Barring Rodrigues and Kapp, none of their top seven got going and by the time Prasad mounted her resistance, it seemed too late and she had run out of partners. Which was down to DC freezing under pressure, but also due to Mumbai standing up when it really mattered.

And having again outwitted the team that has thrice finished above them in the league stages, brazenly showing off their big-game temperament and mentality, it is impossible to escape the supposition that tonight, the Mumbai Indians have, in the WPL, rendered themselves as the greatest of all time. And the Capitals, well, they are still trying to win the last game of the season.

One legal ball and MI will be home

12 off 3 now. Three boundaries needed. Or two sixes...

Alex: "How about 3 lovely edges to the ropes in the final over?" -- DC will not mind it one bit...

No pressure, Shree Charani, playing just her second WPL game and is just 20 years old. Around the wicket. And to add to the drama, Charani pulls out of her stance very late. Ooooh, the theatre...

14 needed off the final over. Still MI's game to lose, you'd reckon, but Prasad has shown that she is not going to throw the towel that easily. NSB to bowl. This is where WPL 2025 gets decided. Let's go!

21 off 8

Charani is the last batter in

Matthews to bowl the penultimate over. 23 needed off 12

NSB on a hat-trick, all of a sudden, and DC are staring down the barrel. Mani on strike. NSB goes around the wicket

Amyth: "That Kapp wicket probably gets the game done and dusted."

Pandey walks in

27 off 15. Game on a knife-edge

Sciver-Brunt to bowl the 18th, which means Matthews might bowl the 19th, with NSB bowling the last. 29 off 18
