UP Warriorz vs Delhi Capitals: Full WPL Head-to-Head Record Revealed
Delhi Capitals Women lead the WPL head-to-head record against UP Warriorz with 4 wins to 2 ahead of their 2026 clash.
The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 intensifies with Match 7 on January 14 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, where winless Delhi Capitals Women (DCW) face UP Warriorz (UPW) behind closed doors due to elections. DCW, under Jemimah Rodrigues, lost tightly to Gujarat Giants and their opener, craving a breakthrough. UPW, led by Meg Lanning (ex-DCW skipper), fell to Gujarat Giants and RCB Women. Both at 0-2, victory is vital amid fiercer competition with bigger squads and global talent.
DCW holds a 4-2 edge over six meetings since 2023, blending high scores (average first innings 160), defenses, and two 1-run thrillers. Here's every clash detailed with scores, margins, stars, and pivots.
2023: DCW's Dominant Double
DCW ruled the inaugural season. Match 5 (March 7, Dr. DY Patil): DCW posted 211/4—WPL's top total then—via Shafali Verma's 60 (34 balls, 7 fours, 3 sixes) and Rodrigues' 69 (32). UPW reached 169/5 despite Grace Harris' 52* (38); Jess Jonassen took 3/26 for a 42-run win. Match 20 (March 21, Brabourne): DCW made 142/5, defended by Jonassen's 4/22 (economy 5.5). Tahlia McGrath's 54 (41) nearly rescued UPW at 138/6, but a run-out sealed a 4-run defeat. DCW's bowling (under 7 economy) stifled UPW.

2024: Equilibrium with Nail-Biters
Parity hit in 2024. Match 4 (February 26, Chinnaswamy, rain-DLS): DCW chased 123/1 easily—Verma 52* (32), Rodrigues 39* (25)—as UPW scraped 119/9 with Lanning's 43 (42). Radha Yadav's 3/25 clinched 4 runs. UPW retaliated in Match 15 (March 8, Arun Jaitley): 138/8 defended by Deepti Sharma's 4/32 and Sophie Ecclestone's 2/21. DCW's 137 fell 1 run short despite Marizanne Kapp's 32* (20), thrilling Delhi crowds.
2025: UPW's Resurgent Push
UPW leveled up in 2025. Match 6 (February 19, Kotambi): DCW set 167/3 (Rodrigues 60* off 37, Tazmin Brits 50); Lanning's 72 (52, 8 fours, 2 sixes) got UPW to 166/7—1 run off. Arundhati Reddy's 2/28 won it. Match 8 (February 22, Chinnaswamy): Alyssa Healy's 94 (55, 12 fours, 3 sixes) lifted UPW to 177/9. Deepti (3/17) and Ecclestone crumbled DCW to 144 for a 33-run triumph, exposing top-order frailties.
DCW thrives at neutrals like Navi Mumbai (1-0), but UPW's momentum and Lanning's insight promise chaos. Watch Healy, Lanning, and Rodrigues ignite.
