• Annabel Sutherland –  The all-rounder has been a game-changer with her bowling, taking 4 wickets in 2 innings with an economy rate of 5.50.

DCW vs UPW Probable Winners:

The Delhi Capitals Women are going to be an experienced team. After reaching three consecutive finals, they understand what it takes to advance in the WPL. Their captain, Meg Lanning, is an outstanding performer and leader for them. They ought to win this match. The UP Warriorz Women have fallen in all of their WPL 2025 matches thus far, and we believe they will face another defeat. Considering the team combination, Delhi Capitals is expected to win this match.

The opening partnership has often left the Capitals with little attention on a misfiring middle order. This season though the openers have not lived up to their expectations and the middle-order has not been able  to kick on as a result. The Warriorz are winless but their middle-order has been better and that could be a place of strength against a middle-order that has not fired.
