What’s at Stake in This Match?
For the Delhi Capitals, it’s about keeping the momentum going. A win could push them up the points table. With Meg Lanning in top form and power hitters like Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland in the mix, DC looks solid. Their bowlers are also consistently delivering. They are a balanced team and a big threat.
For UP Warriorz, this is do-or-die territory. Another loss would be disastrous. Their biggest concern? Batting consistency. Kiran Navgire has been firing, but the middle order needs to step up. Deepti Sharma and other key players must deliver if UPW wants to turn things around.
