The Malabarians are now just one win away from their third consecutive Hero IWL crown and will be aiming to continue their dominance. The reigning champions have been in excellent form throughout the campaign. Having some of the most experienced stalwarts like Ashalatha Devi, Dangmey Grace, Indumati Kathiresan, and scoring machine Sabitra Bhandari, they form a strong core of the team.

Meanwhile, Kickstart made history by reaching their first Hero IWL Final. The team, led by captain Dalima Chibber, enjoyed a memorable campaign, finishing second in Group B before beating HOPS 2-1 in the quarter-finals. In the semi-final, Kickstart went on to beat Sethu by a 2-0 scoreline. Kickstart was placed third in the Hero IWL last season, and ahead of their campaign this season, coach Langam Chaoba Devi had affirmed that her side will not just aim for another podium finish, but the top prize.
