The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is set for another thrilling encounter as the Delhi Capitals prepare to face the UP Warriorz at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on February 22, 2025.
Last time they met, Delhi Capitals clinched victory convincingly, winning by seven wickets. This match is particularly significant as the UP Warriorz are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, still seeking their first points of this season. Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals, sitting fourth with 2 points from 2 matches, will look to build momentum after their recent win.
Delhi's captain Meg Lanning expressed confidence going forward, noting, "It feels like the pitch will suit our game. Nice to get back on the winning side of things. Have to play well again tonight." Her performance recently has been stellar, including her impressive 69 runs, which played a pivotal role in their previous clash on February 19.
On the other hand, UP Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma remains hopeful for her team. She stated, "Our plan was to bowl as well. Our plans will remain similar. Won’t focus too much on results, just want to play good cricket." Her leadership skills will be put to the test as her team strives to turn their fortunes around.
The UP Warriorz had faced difficulties, including fielding lapses where three catches were dropped against the Capitals last time, impacting their performance. Deepti's squad includes notable players like Tahlia McGrath and Grace Harris, but they need to work cohesively to find their rhythm.
The match kicks off tonight at 7:30 PM IST, and it will be streamed live on Jio Hotstar and broadcast on the Sports18 Network. Both teams are eagerly preparing for what promises to be another close contest as the stakes escalate. Fans can expect power-packed performances from both sides.
With the Delhi Capitals already demonstrating their prowess, they will not want to take the Warriorz lightly, who will certainly be desperate to make their mark this season. Delhi's successful lineup includes players like Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland, known for their impactful contributions during matches.
Both teams are motivated to perform well, with the Capitals aiming to solidify their middle table position and avoid falling behind stronger rivals like the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
After winning the toss, Meg Lanning opted to bowl first, which is becoming the trend this season where all games have been won by teams chasing. This choice will put UP Warriorz, who have struggled recently, under additional pressure as they try to post a competitive total.
Tonight’s match will be more than just points; it’s about pride and setting the tone for the remaining season. Will the UP Warriorz finally open their account? Or will the Delhi Capitals continue their upward momentum? With everything at stake, this WPL 2025 clash is one fans won't want to miss.
