Early losses have increased pressure on the two camps, making this contest vital for momentum. The spotlight will be firmly on former teammates Meg Lanning and Jemimah Rodrigues, now leading rival sides in a rare and intriguing reunion. Delhi will look for more consistency from their batting unit, while UP Warriorz will hope their bowlers find better control in the middle overs. With points at a premium and confidence on the line, this match promises intensity, tactical battles, and a strong response from two desperate teams eager to reset their WPL 2026 campaigns.

Both teams have similar starts. They have failed with the ball, and their batting has not been consistent. But with two defeats already under their belts, losing a third consecutive game can hurt their chances for qualification in the next round. So, both sides will put everything to get a win.

It will be a battle between the bottom-toddlers, when Delhi Capitals Women (DC W) take on UP Warriorz (UP W) in the Match No. 7 of the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 on Wednesday, January 14 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. The match will be played behind closed doors due to the ongoing elections in the city, meaning that no fans will be allowed inside.

In a closely fought contest against the Gujarat Giants Women, the Jemimah Rodrigues-led side missed out on opening their tally on the points table. They have lost both their matches of the season, and since the time will never wait for anyone, the Delhi-based team will have to regroup and get their first win in WPL 2026 on Wednesday.

Right from the onset, Lizelle Lee looked to be in supreme touch during her previous outing. In the game on Sunday, she marauded her blade to play a thunderous knock of 86 off just 54. However, her side failed to chase the target in a last-ball thriller, despite the valiant efforts. Nonetheless, Lee will prepare herself to play a match-winning knock tonight.
