Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz, Match 5, WPL 2023 - Best memes from the game

The inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League is gradually making its way to the hearts of the fans as the five franchises are giving one riveting contest after the other for the fans to enjoy. The fifth match of the tournament was no different as Delhi Capitals and UP Warriors went up against each other on Tuesday, March 7 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.

Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and invited Delhi Capitals to bat first. The dangerous opening duo of Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning walked out to give an electrifying start to their team. The duo put on 67 runs for the first wicket in 39 balls with skipper Lanning taking major care of the scoring process. 

Verma, 17(14), couldn’t get on with her innings and perished soon after Tahila McGrath dismissed her. However, Lanning continued her brilliant form at the other end and scored runs at a brisk pace. She went on to score 70 off 42 balls smashing 10 fours and three sixes in her innings at a strike rate of 166.67.

Following her dismissal, Alice Capsey played a brilliant cameo of 21 off 10 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues and Jess Jonassen gave the perfect finish to the innings with their 67-run partnership off 34 balls. Rodrigues remained unbeaten on 34 off 22 balls while Jonassen scored 42* off 20 as Delhi posted a massive 211/4 at the end of their innings.

Tahila McGrath was the lone Warrior in the Warriorz's chase

In reply, captain Alyssa Healy was looking to attack right from the word go to keep up with the required run rate. However, she couldn’t continue for long and perished after scoring 24 off 17. Warriorz further lost the in-form Kiran Navgire and young Shweta Sehrawat in the next five balls to be reduced to 31/3 after 4.2 overs.

Tahila McGrath played a sensational knock of 90* off 50 balls but didn’t get much support from the other end. As a result, the Warriorz lost the match by 42 runs. Jess Jonassen was the pick of the bowlers from UP Warriorz as she finished with 3/43 in four overs.
