Delhi Capitals Edge UP Warriorz on Final Ball to Seal First WPL 2026 Win

A late-overs collapse after a tactical retired-out left UP winless, even as Meg Lanning reached 1,000 WPL runs.

Overview

  • Chasing 155, Delhi finished at 158/3 off the last delivery, powered by Lizelle Lee’s 67 and a composed close from Laura Wolvaardt.
  • Shafali Verma was Player of the Match after taking 2/16 in four overs and contributing 36 with the bat.
  • UP were 112/2 before the death overs, then lost six wickets for just 24 runs in the last five overs after Harleen Deol was retired out on 47 in a tactical move by coach Abhishek Nayar.
  • The game at DY Patil Stadium was played without spectators after Navi Mumbai Police said they could not provide security due to municipal elections.
  • Jemimah Rodrigues chose to field after winning the toss; Meg Lanning top-scored for UP with 54 and became the third batter to pass 1,000 WPL runs as the Warriorz stayed winless.
