UP Warriorz Preview: Not enough runs costs them

When your top-scorer in the first innings is only recording 39 runs, it doesn’t bode well for a team and that proved to be the case with UP Warriorz last time out. Batting first, they could only manage 143/9 against Gujarat Giants which inevitable didn’t prove enough, their opponents getting home with six wickets and two overs to spare.

Delhi Capitals Preview: Response required after RCB thrashing

Delhi Capitals were outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday and a strong reaction will be required from this Delhi side. Bowled out for 141, RCB and Smriti Mandhana made light work of the run chase, reaching their victory target in the 17th over having lost just two wickets. That result leaves Delhi on two points after two games.

UP Warriorz Betting Analysis

We’ve previously highlighted the potency of England’s Sophie Ecclestone for this UP Warriorz side and she didn’t disappoint despite their defeat to Gujarat, the England international claiming two wickets. Attacking Ecclestone is so difficult due to her smart changes of pace and subtle variations which inevitably lead to wickets going down. Backing her to gain over 1.5 match wickets for the second WPL game running in 2025 is a sensible move.

Delhi Capitals Betting Analysis

It’s a big tournament for Jemimah Rodrigues in 2025 as she looks to try and cement a place in India’s white ball team. She showed promise most recently against RCB with 34 from 22 balls, top scoring for Delhi. Now she’ll want to kick on and look towards scoring half-centuries or more. Consider a play on Rodrigues via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market, specifically to score 30+ runs. 

UP Warriorz vs Delhi Capitals Expert Prediction

There were worries regarding UP Warriorz going into this year’s IPL and they appear to be valid based on what we saw of them in their first game. Delhi Capitals have served up a mixed bag so far, but their best cricket should wind up superior to what UP Warriorz can offer. Expect the Capitals to come back strongly and win this game.
