Match Preview:
After some incredible opening games, UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals Women will lock horns at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams have some quality players and will look to get off the mark by winning their first game of the tournament. The Warriorz suffered a two-run loss against the Royal Challengers Bangalore while the Capitals lost the game thanks to a last-ball six against the Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener.
Pitch Report:
The M.Chinnaswamy Stadium has lived up to expectations of being one of the most high-scoring grounds in India with an average score of 163 in the WPL 2024. The true bounce off the pitch and the shorter boundaries allow batters to score heaps of runs at this venue. But bowlers, especially with the new ball can generate swing while spinners can also impact the game.
Team Analysis:
UP Warriorz:
The Alyssa Healy-led UP Warriorz were in cruise control until Bangalore’s Sobhana Asha picked up three wickets in the 17th over to turn the game around before Sophie Molineux sealed the game in the final over. But despite the result, the Warriorz seemed like the better team with both bat and ball, hence will hope to continue this form against the Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals Women:
Similarly, the Delhi Capitals were very much on top as they suffered a heartbreaking loss in the opening game of WPL 2024. The Meg Lanning-led side crawled out after a poor start to post a massive score. Then with the ball, Delhi started incredibly well before Mumbai got back into the game and eventually went on to win the game spectacularly.
