WPL 2026: Delhi Bowlers Claw Back After Lanning–Deol Stand Lifts UP Warriorz To 154/8
DY Patil Stadium: After absorbing strong pressure from a fluent partnership between skipper Meg Lanning and Harleen Deol, Delhi Capitals produced a disciplined bowling performance to claw their way back and restricted UP Warriorz to a competitive but less than commanding total of 154 for 8 in the seventh match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
The innings suggested more than it delivered, as UP sailed along for a long time before Delhi’s bowlers tightened their grip at the end.
Marizanne Kapp set the tone early by taking out Kiran Navgire for a duck in the first over, highlighting Delhi’s intent with the new ball. Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield responded calmly, mixing caution with good timing to guide Warriorz to 47 for 1 by the end of the Power-play. Sneh Rana removed Litchfield soon after the powerplay for 27.
