UP Warriorz 76/2 in 9.0 Overs | DC vs UPW, WPL Live Score: UP’s opening woes continue; Kiran Navgire departs for none

DC vs UPW, WPL Live Score: Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz meet on Wednesday with both teams still looking for their first win of the WPL season. Delhi, finalists in each of the first three editions, have had a slow start under new captain Jemimah Rodrigues. UP Warriorz, now led by Meg Lanning, find themselves in a similar position after two losses. With the tournament moving fast, another defeat would push either side close to must-win territory. Both teams come into this contest aware of their issues — Delhi with powerplay bowling, UP Warriorz with their top-order batting — making this clash important for momentum as much as points. Stay with us for live updates, key moments and match-defining phases.

UP Warriorz are still searching for answers in their batting line-up, especially at the top of the order. Harleen Deol and Kiran Navgire have both opened alongside Meg Lanning in the first two matches, but neither combination has worked. The team management now faces a decision on settling Lanning’s opening partner and sticking with it. Lanning herself admitted that the side played too many dot balls early, including her own innings. UP Warriorz will need a better start if they are to put pressure on Delhi’s bowling attack in this contest.

The two teams Meg Lanning has been most closely associated with in the WPL find themselves in the same position — winless and at the bottom of the table. Delhi Capitals, who topped the league stage in the first three seasons, find fourth place unfamiliar territory. They showed fight against Gujarat Giants by taking the chase down to seven needed off the last over with seven wickets in hand, a match they could have won. UP Warriorz, meanwhile, started the season competitively but were outplayed by RCB. With little margin for error, both teams will see this match as a chance to reset their campaigns.
