Who will win today’s WPL match between Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz?
Both sides are yet to get their maiden points on the table.
Match Overview
It will be a battle between the bottom-toddlers, when Delhi Capitals Women (DC W) take on UP Warriorz (UP W) in the Match No. 7 of the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 on Wednesday, January 14 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. The match will be played behind closed doors due to the ongoing elections in the city, meaning that no fans will be allowed inside.
In a closely fought contest against the Gujarat Giants Women, the Jemimah Rodrigues-led side missed out on opening their tally on the points table. They have lost both their matches of the season, and since the time will never wait for anyone, the Delhi-based team will have to regroup and get their first win in WPL 2026 on Wednesday.
The UP Warriorz, on the other hand, have had a similar fate like their opposition. They first lost to Gujarat Giants in the opening match and were later undone by Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in their next. The upcoming match may be an emotional ride for their skipper Meg Lanning, as she prepares to face the side she led for the past three seasons. It will be, thus, a mouthwatering contest in Navi Mumbai.

DC W vs UP W: Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Lizelle Lee
Right from the onset, Lizelle Lee looked to be in supreme touch during her previous outing. In the game on Sunday, she marauded her blade to play a thunderous knock of 86 off just 54. However, her side failed to chase the target in a last-ball thriller, despite the valiant efforts. Nonetheless, Lee will prepare herself to play a match-winning knock tonight.
Probable Best Bowler: Sophie Ecclestone
Sophie Ecclestone, the seasoned left-arm spinner, can pose some real danger in front of the Capitals in the upcoming contest. Her ability to keep the runs in check puts pressure on the opposition, which further results into crucial breakthroughs.
