After a stunning show with both bat and ball in the previous match against Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals moved to the top of the points table in the ongoing Women’s Premier League. All they have to do right now is to get another win under their belt and with that, they will directly qualify for the finals of the competition.
UP Warriorz on the other hand will have the exact same opportunity. However, it will be difficult for them, as the Alyssa Healy-led side is far behind in the Net Run Rate (NRR). Thus, they need a massive win over the Capitals in the next match while they will also have to hope Mumbai Indians lose their final league contest against Royal Challengers Bangalore in order to qualify for the finals. Otherwise, the team will have to play in the eliminator in order to qualify for the summit clash.
