On Monday, February 26, UP Warriorz will clash against Delhi Capitals in the fourth fixture of the Women’s Premier League 2024 (WPL 2024) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Both UP Warriorz and DelhiCapitals started their WPL 2024 season with a disheartening loss, suffering a last-ball defeat in their respective campaign openers. Both sides will try to make a stronger comeback and win games to open their account.
UP Warriorz have lost their previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore Women by a close margin of two runs. During the chase, at one point Warriorz looked in good position but the lower order couldn’t really play out of their skin and UP Warriorz eventually ended on the losing side.
Though the Warriorz were impressive with the ball in their first match of the season. It is a batting-friendly venue in Bengaluru but the UP bowlers managed to get the upper hand against RCB. They will be backing their bowlers to continue their rhythm and put the team on top of the game. The side will look to pick up positives from the previous match and will be very determined to get their first win of the competition in this game.
On the other hand Delhi Capitals kicked off the new season of the WPL by clashing against reigning champions Mumbai Indians but failed to secure a win. The Capitals were quite impressive with the bat in the last match but that total wasn’t enough on such a good batting wicket in Bengaluru.
Considering the opponent they were up against, 171 was not a very competitive total. However, the bowlers couldn’t build pressure on the MI even after picking up a wicket in the first Over. The bowlers never managed to get on top of the game and put the opposition on the back foot. However, DC needs a bowler who can deliver timely breakthroughs. The team took their opening game to the final ball and will be desperate to go one step further in this match.
