Vadodara, Feb 19: Skipper Meg Lanning struck 69 off 49 balls as Delhi Capitals produced a solid batting effort to beat UP Warriorz by seven wickets and register their second win in the Women’s Premier League here on Wednesday.
Sent into bat, UP Warriorz rode on opener Kiran Navgire’s quick-fire half-century to post 166 for seven.
But the total was not enough as besides Lanning, Annabel Sutherland played a crucial 35-ball 41-run knock and was ably supported by Marizanne Kapp (19) and opener Shafali Verma (16). Delhi completed the chase with a ball to spare.
DC were off to a brisk start with Shafali and Lanning sharing 65 runs in just 41 balls for the opening stand.
Shafali was going great guns before she was caught by Chinelle Henry off Deepti Sharma in the seventh over.
Jemimah Rodrigues too didn’t last long as she departed in the next over without opening her account, trying to paddle sweep Sophie Eccestone but only managing to get a top edge and Rajeshwari Gayakwad did the rest.
Sutherland and Kapp then shared 48 runs for the fourth wicket to take DC home.
With 32 needed from the last three overs, Kapp brought the equation down by hitting Ecclestone for two consecutive boundaries.
With 11 required off the last over, Sutherland struck two boundaries off Tahila McGrath to take her side home.
Earlier, sent into bat, Navgire (51) and Dinesh Vrinda (16) shared 66 runs in 5.5 overs to give a great start to UP Warriorz innings.
Thereafter, UP Warriorz lost five wickets for 52 runs.
Sheweta Sehrawat (37) and Grace Harris (12) added 36 runs for the fifth wicket before the latter spooned a straightforward catch to Shafali Verma at mid-off off the bowling of pacer Arundhati Reddy.
Towards the end, Chinelle Henry (33) played a brief little cameo to take UP Warriorz past 160.
For DC, Annabel Sutherland was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/26 from her four overs. (PTI)
