New Delhi, Aug 23 (IANS) The stage is set for a blockbuster finale as the South Delhi Superstarz take on the Central Delhi Queens in the Adani Women’s Delhi Premier League 2025 grand final on Sunday (August 24) at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Both teams have been the standout performers of the tournament and will now battle it out for the coveted crown. The Superstarz sealed their spot in the title clash after a thrilling 10-run victory in their previous outing, while the Queens had already secured qualification earlier.

Sharing her excitement ahead of the big game, Shweta Sehrawat, captain of the South Delhi Superstarz, said, “We are absolutely delighted to have made it to the finals, and the excitement within the camp is at its peak. Everyone has worked really hard to get here, and now it’s about soaking in the moment. The message to the team is clear — go out there, play with freedom, and express ourselves without any pressure.
