Delhi Capitals look for win against UP Warriorz to seal Eliminator berth in WPL 2026

Lack of runs for some of their top batters notwithstanding, Delhi Capitals will have their fate in their own hands as they look for a win against UP Warriorz in the final league match of the Women’s Premier League match here on Sunday.

A win for DC will straightaway send them to the Eliminator against Gujarat Giants with eight points for a third-place finish in the league, knocking defending champions Mumbai Indians out of the



reckoning.

On the other hand, a victory for bottom-placed UP Warriorz could open the door for Mumbai. In that situation, all the three sides — Mumbai, DC and Warriorz — will be on same six points and net run rate (NRR) will decide who will face Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator for a place in the final.

Of the three, Warriorz have the worst NRR of minus 1.146 while DC have minus 0.164. MI have the best NRR of the three with plus 0.059.
