Delhi Capitals WPL 2025 journey ended in yet another heartbreak as the franchise fell just short of winning their first ever trophy. Notably, this was the third straight loss for the Meg Lanning’s team and the captain could be seen with wet eyes soon after the loss.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Lanning looks with eyes before rubbing off some of the tears. The Delhi Capitals skipper then passed off a faint smile as she received some sonsolation from a teammate.

Notably, in a closely fought contest on Saturday, Mumbai Indians scored 149 runs in their 20 overs which the Delhi Capitals fell short of by 8 runs. Lanning started the batting on a positive note but was ultimately dismissed by Nat Sciver-Brunt on 13.

Meg Lanning on third WPL loss:

Speaking at the post match presentation, Lanning said, “We have had another good season, and unfortunately, we couldn’t get over the line. Congrats to Mumbai – you have been excellent throughout the season. Chasing 150 was a pretty good target for us; one more partnership could have been enough, but I’m proud of the team,”

“There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Performing on the night is important, and Mumbai were too good tonight. We haven’t been able to put our best performance in the final on the board, which is disappointing, but that’s cricket,” the Delhi Capitals skipper added.

Reflecting perhaps her true state of mind after the loss, Lanning added, “It has just not happened for us. We are bitterly disappointed; we put ourselves in a good position but couldn’t finish it off,”
