DC vs UPW Live Score, WPL 2025: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s live coverage of the eighth match of the Women’s Premier League 2025 season between Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz. We’ll bring you all the live updates and ball-by-ball commentary from the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
It was only two days ago that these two sides played a last-over thriller in the final match in Vadodara for this edition. Now, they’ll go head-to-head in the second match at the Chinnaswamy.
Naturally, the Warriorz, bruised and battered and positioned last in the points table, would be seeking revenge. The Capitals, meanwhile, would want to string two wins in a row and get some momentum so as to not fall too behind the likes of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians.
Warriorz’ newbie skipper Deepti Sharma would be under immense pressure to deliver and change her team’s 4-1 head-to-head record against senior pro, Meg Lanning’s side. If the Warriorz lose another match, the haunting memories of the previous two seasons will rush back — to avoid that, they’d need to fire as a unit with Indian players helping their overseas counterparts, and fielders putting an end to silly errors.
It has been a season of thrillers so far and this one is shaping to be another in the queue!
