UP Warriorz Set Delhi 155 After Harleen Deol Is Retired Out in Empty DY Patil

Security constraints for Navi Mumbai's civic polls kept fans out, with Delhi chasing their first win after Meg Lanning's landmark 54 for UP.

Overview

  • Jemimah Rodrigues won the toss and chose to field, with the match played behind closed doors after police resources were diverted for municipal elections.
  • UP Warriorz finished on 154 for 8, losing six wickets for 24 runs in the last five overs; Marizanne Kapp led Delhi’s attack with 2 for 24 and Shafali Verma struck twice in the 20th over.
  • Harleen Deol was retired out on 47 before the 17th over, a rare tactical move in the WPL, and replacement Chloe Tryon lasted three balls.
  • Meg Lanning top-scored with 54 off 38 and became the WPL’s leading run-scorer as captain at 1,050, also crossing 1,000 career WPL runs.
  • UP made one change with Tryon in for Deandra Dottin, and Delhi now chase on a surface where evening dew has tended to aid batting second.
