Breaking their winless streak, Delhi Capitals powered to a seven-wicket victory against UP Warriorz in the Women’s Premier League, igniting hopes of a strong comeback. The comprehensive performance across departments highlighted why they remain dark horses in the competition.
Batting first, UP Warriorz endured a tough day. Healy’s fifty was a highlight, but Delhi’s varied attack – mixing pace, spin, and cutters – choked the runs. Reddy and Capsey grabbed two wickets each, bundling UP for 137/7. The innings lacked intent after the powerplay, with dot balls piling up.
Delhi Capitals’ response was flawless. Bhatia and Verma attacked early, racing to 50 without loss. Even after a minor hiccup, Rodrigues and Capsey rebuilt and exploded. Capsey’s blistering 40 shifted gears, while Kapp’s late cameo sealed the deal at 138/3 with 16 balls unused.
This result climbs Delhi the ladder, while UP must address batting collapses. Capsey’s dual impact fetched her Player of the Match, underscoring her value. With crunch games looming, Delhi’s momentum surge positions them as serious contenders in the WPL saga.
