The match began with Delhi Capitals winning the toss and opting to bowl first against UP Warriorz. Their decision proved to be a smart one, as they kept control throughout the game and sealed the win in the final moments.

After losing to India 8-1 in their last encounter, Malaysia were desperate for a win, and showed immense character to fight it out against Japan after they were a goal down after the first half.

Ji-Hyun Yan scored the only South Korean goal that came in the 30th minute of the clash. 

Batting first, UP Warriorz relied on opener Kiran Navgire's explosive half-century to set a total of 166 for seven.

Kiran’s explosive 51 off 27 balls and Dinesh Vrinda’s 16 set a strong foundation for UP Warriorz at 66/1. But once Navgire fell, DC tightened their grip and took control. It was a good day for debutant Chinnelle Henry as she scored 33*.

Annabel Sutherland was the standout bowler for DC, picking up 2/26 from her four overs. Her all-round performance earned her the Player of the Match award.

And then the chase took off as Meg Lanning anchored Delhi’s innings with a crucial 69, while Annabel’s 41 off 35 balls provided stability. Marizanne Kapp played a steady hand with an unbeaten 29 off 17, and Shafali Verma added 26 off 16.

Delhi Capitals got off to a blazing start, with Shafali and Lanning putting together a 65-run opening stand in just 41 balls. Shafali looked dangerous but fell to Chinelle Henry off Deepti Sharma in the seventh over.

Jemimah Rodrigues didn’t last long either, departing in the next over without opening her account as she attempted a paddle sweep off Sophie Ecclestone, only to top-edge it to Rajeshwari Gayakwad.

The game got intense in the last few overs as Delhi Capitals chased down 167 with a ball to spare.
