New Delhi, 14 January 2026: We are ready to take on UP Warriorz tonight at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with the game getting underway at 7:30 PM. After a thrilling contest against the Gujarat Giants, the team is ready to bring intensity, focus, and big performances to turn the tables in this crucial clash.
In the last game, our Proteas stars shone brilliantly, Laura Wolvaardt’s breathtaking 77 off 38 balls and Lizelle Lee’s explosive 86 off 54 kept the contest alive until the final moments. Nandini Sharma also impressed with her maiden 5-wicket haul, including a hat-trick. Tonight, we aim to build on that momentum and deliver another strong performance for the fans.
Head to Head
Out of the six games played against the UP Warriorz, Delhi Capitals have the upper hand, winning four of the last six encounters. The team will look to continue its dominance against a familiar foe.
Key Matchups
Jemimah Rodrigues vs. Deepti Sharma
The battle of the Indian superstars could be another key contest. Jemimah, the middle-order anchor and a master against spin, will be tested by her national teammate. How she handles Deepti’s slow but deadly off-spin could have a major impact on the match.
Lizelle Lee vs. Sophie Ecclestone
Lizelle showed sublime form in the last game, blasting 86 off 54 and keeping Delhi in the hunt until the final ball. She will look to carry that momentum forward with another match-defining innings. Ecclestone is a tricky left-arm spinner capable of controlling the game, but Lizelle knows how to handle the pressure and aims to turn this matchup in Delhi’s favor.
