WPL 2025: Top 3 Wicket Taker of the Season | Purple Cap

After an exciting first ten days of the Women's Premier League, we have witnessed exceptional bowling performances from all the teams. The season started with a high-scoring total in the tournament opener between the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gujarat Giants, which became the highest target ever chased in the WPL's history.

However, since then, we have seen bowlers increasingly dominate the season, with multiple low-scoring matches where teams couldn't even score 150 runs against strong bowling attacks. In this article, we will discuss the top three wicket-takers of the season.

After eight matches so far, here are the top three bowlers who have taken the most wickets and are currently leading the purple cap race.

Position	Player Name	Team	Wickets
1	Georgia Wareham	Royal Challengers	7
2	Grace Harris	Warriorz	6
2	Hayley Matthews	Indians	6

1. Georgia Wareham (Royal Challengers Bengaluru)

RCB

Georgia Wareham, the Australian leg spinner acquired by the defending Champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a recent auction, has emerged as the team's best acquisition of the season. Wareham is currently at the top of the points table, with seven wickets in just three matches and an economy of 8.72.

2. Grace Harris (UP Warriorz)

Grace Harris

Grace Harris, another Australian all-rounder playing for UP Warriorz this season, is currently in second place with six wickets from three matches. The most exciting aspect of her performance so far is her extremely economical spells, which are the highest among the top bowlers. She has trapped batters with her classic leg spin style, giving them very little chance to play big shots.

Team	UPW

3. Hayley Matthews (Mumbai Indians)

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthew, the West Indies all-rounder, has taken six wickets so far this season and has played a significant role in the success of the Mumbai Indians. With an economy rate of 7.08, she has kept the batters under control while taking wickets at regular intervals. In the match against the Gujarat Giants, where the Mumbai Indians bowled them out for just 140 runs, Matthew played a crucial role by taking three important wickets.
