UP Warriorz VS Delhi Capitals
Delhi got to show how good their batsmen are and set an example for the other teams in the tournament to try to follow. Meg Lanning and Shafali Varma set the tone at the top by hitting 50s quickly. Marizanne Kapp and Jemimah Rodrigues finished off the innings to help them beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by a huge 223 runs.
The bowling attack of UP Warriorz should be worried about Delhi’s strong batting, since they gave up 169 runs to a Gujarat Giants lineup that didn’t pack as much of a punch as Delhi’s. But The Warriorz would also come into the game with a lot going for them, like Grace Harris’s amazing finish in the final over a tight chase.
Going back to the same place would be comforting for the team, which is waiting for their captain and opener, Alyssa Healy, to join the run-party soon. Their decision to extend their batting at the expense of Shabnim Ismail’s extra speed paid off against Gujarat, but can they do the same against Delhi? This could be one of Healy’s biggest worries, along with balancing a bad batting order that had to be saved from a collapse.
Delhi’s good batting was helped by the fact that USA’s Tara Norris took five wickets, but it’s still early in the tournament and there are still a lot of things to worry about.
What to expect
The ground has seen two games with totals of more than 170. Even though this would be the third game there in five days, the batters should still have enough room to have fun.
