Star England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, who is playing for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing 2025 edition of the Women’s Premier League, entered her name in the history books on Tuesday (March 11) by becoming the first player to score 400 runs in one edition of the WPL. Sciver-Brunt achieved the historic feat during the WPL 2025 match played between MI and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday.
She scored 69 runs from 35 balls for the Mumbai Indians in the last league match of WPL 2025.
During her stay at the crease when Sciver-Brunt crossed the 53-run mark, she completed 400 runs in WPL 2025. A total of six batters have scored more than 300 runs in one edition of WPL, but Sciver-Brunt is the only one to cross the 400-run mark.

With 416 runs to her name in eight matches played so far in WPL 2025, she is also leading the Orange Cap race.
During her 69-run knock against RCB, Sciver-Brunt hammered nine fours and two sixes, but her effort went in vain as Mumbai Indians went on to lose the match by 11 runs. As a result of a close defeat, MI finished the WPL 2025 league stage campaign in second position once again with 10 points from eight matches.
In the first two editions of WPL as well, MI finished 2nd in the points table.
After failing to secure a direct place in the final of WPL for the third season in a row, MI will face Gujarat Giants in the eliminator match on Thursday (March 13) in Mumbai, and the winner of the eliminator clash will then face Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2025 final on Saturday (March 15).
For the third season in a row, DC topped the points table and qualified directly for the final. The Delhi-based franchise would like to end its wait for its maiden WPL title this year. In the first edition of WPL, DC suffered a defeat by seven wickets against Mumbai Indians in the final, and in the WPL 2024 final, RCB hammered them by eight wickets to lift the title.
