In a nail-biting encounter at the Women’s Premier League 2026, Delhi Capitals edged past UP Warriorz by securing a dramatic last-ball victory.
Powered by Lizelle Lee’s explosive 67 off 44 balls and Shafali Verma’s steady 36, Delhi set a competitive total of 158/3 in their 20 overs.
The Capitals’ innings was marked by crucial partnerships, including a 94-run stand between Lee and Verma, followed by Jemimah Rodrigues’ brisk 21 that kept the momentum alive. Laura Wolvaardt’s composed 25* ensured Delhi held their nerve in the final overs.
UP Warriorz bowlers fought hard, with Deepti Sharma claiming two wickets and Asha Sobhana striking once, but expensive spells from Sophie Ecclestone and Chloe Tryon tilted the balance in Delhi’s favour.
The thrilling finish saw Wolvaardt guide her side home with nerves of steel, handing Delhi Capitals their first win of the campaign and igniting hopes of a strong comeback in the tournament.
