Delhi Capitals will look to extend their winning streak against UP Warriorz on Monday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium when this matchup goes live on Sports 18 and JioCinema.
Meg Lanning’s DC has the opportunity to make history against Alyssa Healy’s UP Warriorz in this matchup.
Toss
The match will take place at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, February 26. Both teams had slow starts to their WPL 2024 campaigns but hope that facing off against one another could prove fruitful in reversing those fortunes.
Meg Lanning of DC won the toss and elected to bat first. Their previous game against MI ended in defeat and they must win this one in order to remain a contender for one of three top spots.
Marizanne Kapp is continuing her remarkable run as an UPW bowler by striking twice in an over, dismissing Kiran Navgire and Alice Capsey from their respective innings – the latter was looking to hit some big shots when Marizanne Kapp caught her at deep midwicket boundary.
UPW batters must find ways to accelerate their scoring against DC bowlers who are known for being precise. On delivery two, an edged length ball hit Navgire’s bat and went for six runs off it.
Kapp strikes again quickly to dismiss Alyssa Healy of UPW who tried a big shot that Jemimah Rodrigues caught cleanly – leaving UPW at 92/6 and in trouble. Shikha Pandey joined at number 10, only for Capsey to catch her off her first delivery as her run up was short and attempted cut shot that hit off the toe of her bat instead.
Match Predictions
After an underwhelming start to their Women’s Premier League campaign, UP Warriorz are hoping to turn things around when they take on Delhi Capitals at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams will aim to win their opening game and increase their chances of qualifying for playoffs.
Meg Lanning and her Delhi Capitals are overwhelming favorites to win this matchup, having started off their season so well with an unbeaten record. Lanning has been in incredible form recently and could prove too much for UP’s defence to handle.
Poonam Khemnar’s dismissal by Radha Yadav for 1(4) marks another setback for United Premier Women as they need an innings from their top order to stave off another collapse.
Titas Sadhu and Radha Yadav of Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack is also in excellent form, conceding less than 100 runs in three overs and will hope to keep that trend up against United Province West who currently sit at the bottom of their respective league standings. A win by Delhi Capitals would ensure they maintain their lead in league standings while giving themselves a chance of reaching playoffs themselves; Sports18 will broadcast this match live.
Head-to-Head Record
Delhi Capitals have won two out of the three meetings against UP Warriorz Women so far and appear poised to extend that success at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday. Both sides suffered narrow defeats during previous encounters but are eager to make amends and find victory against each other this time.
UP Warriorz Women have lost both games so far in this tournament and are hoping for an innings from their batsmen against DC, who have been extremely effective with their bowling attacks.
Delhi Capitals scored an emphatic 42 run win against UP Warriorz in their inaugural meeting. Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma both recorded half centuries as the team chased down an ambitious target of 120 runs within 9 overs.

Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women (Live Score)
Meg Lanning hit an outstanding fifty, but her efforts proved futile as UPW pulled off an epic victory by 1 run. Deepti Sharma provided just the sort of knockover innings needed by UPW to claim this unforgettable triumphant win.
Sharma bowled a short-pitched delivery that just outside off-stump, and Poonam Khemnar drove it for four runs straight down the ground before she was dismissed by Radha Yadav’s full-length delivery from Radha Yadav – but soon afterwards Alyssa Healy fell for a duck against Titas Sadhu, caught by substitute fielder Danielle Wyatt.
Meg Lanning’s side currently lead the table, while UP Warriorz have moved into fourth position. They began the season by losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore but will look to rebound against Delhi Capitals this time out. Their only other defeat came against Mumbai Indians last time out where they were defeated by 42 runs.
