DC W vs UPW W Women’s Premier League 2026: What to expect?
Delhi Capitals Women go into their last league match of WPL 2026 in a must-win situation. If they win this game, they qualify for the Eliminator. This is the first time DC are in such a position, as they topped the table and reached the final in all of the first three seasons.
Their opponents are UP Warriorz Women. UPW only have a mathematical chance of qualifying, not a realistic one. They are led by Meg Lanning, who earlier captained DC to runner-up finishes in the first three WPL editions. UPW were also the team DC beat for their first win this season, after starting with two losses.
UP Warriorz have struggled with their batting throughout the season. Their middle order has been changed many times. In their last match, Deepti Sharma was promoted to open with Meg Lanning, and the pair put on a 74-run stand.
UPW have a chance to spoil DC’s qualification hopes. If DC lose, the Mumbai Indians Women will qualify instead. UPW will also be looking to end their season with a win and carry some positives into the next year.
