DCW has been a two-time finalist of the WPL and is in great form in the current season leading the points table in third position. This is also the second match of both with each other, the last one being on 19 February where Delhi Capitals won by 7 wickets so they do have an upper hand.
Meanwhile, UPW has been struggling since the beginning in the absence of their usual captain Alyssa Healy. Deepti Sharma has not been able to make a remarkable debut as a captain, so she will definitely be looking for a much-needed win. Will DCW be able to perform well and reach the top two? Or will UPW finally get a win in the tournament? I guess we will see soon.
