UP Warriorz (UPW) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the fourth game of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, February 26.
Both UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals lost their opening games by close margins. While UPW went down to Royal Challengers Bangalore by two runs, DC suffered a four-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians.
UP Warriorz allowed Bangalore to get out of jail in their opening game of the tournament. Chasing 158, they looked in control of the situation at 126-3 after 16 overs. However, RCB leg-spinner Asha Sobhana (5-22) claimed three wickets in the 17th over to derail UP Warriorz’s chase. Eventually, they were restricted to 155-7 in 20 overs.
For Delhi Capitals also, it was a case of a missed opportunity against RCB. Batting first in the WPL 2024 opener, they put up a decent 171-5 in 20 overs. Mumbai chased well, but DC stayed in the hunt till the end.
It came down to five needed off the last ball, and Sajeevan Sajana struck Alice Capsey for a six to stun the fielding side.
