DCW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis
Match eight of the 2025 Women’s Premier League brings us to the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium where Delhi Capitals Women meet UP Warriorz Women. Fresh from beating UP earlier this week, Delhi jumped to second place with that convincing victory. Things look bleak for UP though – they’re stuck at the bottom after dropping their last two matches. Given how both teams are playing, Delhi looks well-placed to come out on top again.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Delhi Capitals Preview
Delhi Capitals Women have had a strong campaign so far, winning two out of their three games. Their most recent outing saw them secure a comfortable 7-wicket victory over UP Warriorz Womenβwho they’ll be facing again nextβsuccessfully chasing down a 167-run target with one delivery to spare. Skipper Meg Lanning anchored the chase with a fluent 69 off 49 balls, while Annabel Sutherland (41* off 35) and Marizanne Kapp (29* off 17) provided valuable support to see the team home.
Lanning, Sutherland, and Kapp will be the core of Delhiβs batting order, and their performances will be key in the upcoming matches. One of them is likely to deliver another match-winning innings in the next game. Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues has had a quiet start to the season, but given her class, a turnaround could be on the cards soon.
On the bowling front, Sutherland has been Delhiβs most consistent performer, picking up five wickets in three matches at an economy of 8.50. Shikha Pandey and Minnu Mani have also chipped in with five wickets between them, and their contributions could be crucial in shaping the outcome of future games.
UP Warriorz Preview
UP Warriorz Women are struggling to find their rhythm this season, having suffered back-to-back losses, with their latest defeat coming against Delhi Capitals. The next few games give them a chance to regroup and work their way back into form.
Kiran Navgire has been the standout performer with the bat, leading the teamβs scoring charts with 66 runs in two innings at a blistering strike rate of 188.57. Shweta Sehrawat has chipped in with 53 runs across two matches, providing stability in the middle order. Deepti Sharma has added 46 runs so far and will be expected to deliver key contributions when needed.
Sophie Ecclestone has led the bowling attack well, picking up three wickets in two outings while keeping her economy rate at 5.87. Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath have found wickets too, but theyβll need to be sharper to contain Delhiβs batters.
Weather Conditions
The Chinnaswamy pitch shows a nice covering of grass but looks hard underneath – perfect for batters to play their shots. Expect good bounce and carry throughout. While spinners might not get much help, pacers could exploit some early movement under lights. The outfield is lightning quick as usual.
Expect pleasant conditions in Bengaluru during the game with no chances of disruptions because of rain.

Toss: To Bowl
