WPL 2026 qualification scenarios: Here's how MI, DC and UPW can reach the Eliminator

<p>Cricket is a game of hits and misses, and UP Warriorz has proven it. In&nbsp;an away clash in WPL 2024, UP stunned the table toppers, Delhi Capitals,&nbsp;by beating them in a low-scoring thriller. Defending just 139, UP beat the up-and-moving Delhi side by just one run to clinch their third win of the season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the penultimate over, Deepti Sharma&nbsp;completed her hat-trick, becoming the first Indian to achieve this feat in tournament history.</p>

<p>Struggling to get going this season, UP won the toss and elected to bat first. After losing Kiran Navgire early, the seasoned pair of Alyssa Healy and Deepti kept the run rate ticking for the touring side. Adding 46 for the second wicket meant UP crossed the 50-run mark without much hassle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alice Capsey picked Healy on 29 while Tahlia McGrath followed her captain soon after as UP’s scorecard read 62 for three at one stage.</p>

<p>Their top scorer this season, Grace Harris, had her moments too but got out early on 14 off Radha Yadav. It was about the time before Delhi bowlers tore into UP’s lower order as they managed an under-par total of 138 for eight in 20 overs.</p>

<h2>Second half drama</h2>

<p>Delhi Capitals’ captain Meg Lanning struck another fifty, her fourth in six games this season, putting her team in a comfortable position, but that did not end the way she or her team would have liked. At a stage when Delhi’s scorecard read 112 for four, it looked like a cakewalk for the table toppers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, UP’s highest-scorer in this game, Deepti, turned the game on her head, but with the ball in the hand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After removing Lanning trapped in front on 60, Deepti picked two wickets on the first two balls of the penultimate over to complete her maiden hat-trick, returning with another one in the same over.</p>

<p>With ten runs and three wickets remaining in the final over, Grace Harris conceded a six off the first ball, dropped in the deep, before picking two&nbsp;wickets on successive balls to help her team win the low-scoring thriller by just one run.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite losing the match, Delhi remains on the top of the points table, while UP sits in the fourth position.&nbsp;</p>

DC-W vs UP-W, WPL 2024 Preview: UP Warriorz face do-or-die prospect against league leaders Delhi Capitals

<p>Delhi Capitals opened their account in the second edition of the Women’s Premier League with a massive nine-wicket win over UP Warriorz in Bengaluru on Monday (Feb 26). From openers to bowlers, everyone was on the top of their game as star-studded Delhi rocked in their second outing this season. While spinner Radha Yadav returned with four wickets, aggressive batter Shafali Verma remained unbeaten on 64 off 43 balls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first, trying to put pressure on the opposition straightaway. Marizanne Kapp was the architect for Delhi, who picked three quick wickets inside the first five overs, including removing UP Captain Alyssa Healy and star all-rounder Tahlia McGrath off a peach.</p>

<p>Grace Harris and Shweta Sehrawat tried saving the sinking ship, but with momentum on their side, Delhi again broke the stand, with Radha Yadav picking the big wicket of Harris on 17.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though little contributions from the lower-middle over and the tail kept UP’s scorecard ticking, Radha continued with her sublime form, finishing with four for 20 in her quota of four overs.</p>

<p>Courtesy of some excellent bowling, Delhi restricted UP to a mere 119 for nine in 20 overs.</p>

<h2>Meg, Verma thrash UP</h2>

<p>The attacking pair of Captain Meg Lanning and exciting opener Shafali Verma got Delhi off to a flyer, as both completed a 50-plus stand inside the first six overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>UP bowlers looked clueless against this dynamite pair that looked in a hurry to wrap this game and take two points home.</p>

<p>While Shafali was the aggressor of the two initially, Lanning caught up with her by smashing every bowler left, right and centre. Both completed their respective fifties and just when Delhi was about to complete the chase without losing a wicket, Sophie Ecclestone removed Meg on 51.</p>

<p>Jemimah Rodrigues completed the formalities with a four as Delhi won their first match of this season.</p>

Delhi Capitals opened their account in the second edition of the Women’s Premier League with a massive nine-wicket win over UP Warriorz in Bengaluru on Monday (Feb 26). From openers to bowlers, everyone was on the top of their game as star-studded Delhi rocked in their second outing this season. While spinner Radha Yadav returned with four wickets, aggressive batter Shafali Verma remained unbeaten on 64 off 43 balls. Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first, trying to put pressure on the opposition straightaway. Marizanne Kapp was the architect for Delhi, who picked three quick wickets inside the first five overs, including removing UP Captain Alyssa Healy and star all-rounder Tahlia McGrath off a peach. Grace Harris and Shweta Sehrawat tried saving the sinking ship, but with momentum on their side, Delhi again broke the stand, with Radha Yadav picking the big wicket of Harris on 17.

Courtesy of some excellent bowling, Delhi restricted UP to a mere 119 for nine in 20 overs. Meg, Verma thrash UP The attacking pair of Captain Meg Lanning and exciting opener Shafali Verma got Delhi off to a flyer, as both completed a 50-plus stand inside the first six overs.

While Shafali was the aggressor of the two initially, Lanning caught up with her by smashing every bowler left, right and centre. Both completed their respective fifties and just when Delhi was about to complete the chase without losing a wicket, Sophie Ecclestone removed Meg on 51. Jemimah Rodrigues completed the formalities with a four as Delhi won their first match of this season.
