With UP Warriorz reeling at 16/3 early in their innings, the uphill battle was evident. The team needed a substantial partnership to regain control, but the DC bowlers maintained relentless pressure, denying easy runs. Although Deepti Sharma attempted to anchor the innings, the Capitals’ bowlers consistently chipped away at the wickets.
UPW’s Final Total and Valiant Effort
Despite the odds, UPW managed to post a total of 119/9 in their allotted 20 overs. It was a below-par score, considering the batting firepower possessed by the Delhi Capitals. The UPW innings featured a few cameos, but none were substantial enough to propel them to a competitive total.
