Lanning, Sutherland guide Delhi Capitals to seven-wicket win over UP Warriorz in WPL |

NEW DELHI: Captain Meg Lanning‘s very good 69 off 49 balls powered Delhi Capitals to a seven-wicket win over UP Warriorz, securing their second victory in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in Vadodara on Wednesday.
Batting first, UP Warriorz posted 166 for seven, led by Kiran Navgire’s explosive 51 off 27 balls. However, the overall proved insufficient as Lanning’s innings, supported by Annabel Sutherland’s unbeaten 41 off 35, Marizanne Kapp’s 19 not out off 17, and Shafali Verma’s 16 off 16, guided Delhi to victory with one ball to spare.

Delhi obtained off to a robust begin, with Lanning and Shafali including 65 runs in simply 41 balls for the opening stand. Shafali fell in the seventh over, caught by Chinelle Henry off Deepti Sharma, whereas Jemimah Rodrigues departed with out scoring in the following over, top-edging a paddle sweep off Sophie Ecclestone to Rajeshwari Gayakwad.

An important 48-run fourth-wicket partnership between Sutherland and Kapp helped DC keep heading in the right direction. With 32 wanted from three overs, Kapp eased the strain with back-to-back boundaries off Ecclestone, earlier than Sutherland sealed the win by placing two essential fours off Tahila McGrath in the ultimate over.

Earlier, Navgire and Dinesh Vrinda (16 off 15) gave UP Warriorz a flying begin with a 66-run stand in simply 5.5 overs. However, the innings misplaced momentum, with 5 wickets falling for simply 52 runs.
Shweta Sehrawat (37 off 33) and Grace Harris (12) placed on 36 runs for the fifth wicket earlier than Harris chipped a easy catch to Shafali off Arundhati Reddy. Chinelle Henry’s unbeaten 33 off 15 offered a late flourish, serving to UP Warriorz cross 160.
Sutherland was the standout bowler for DC, ending with 2/26 in her four-over spell.
