The Delhi Capitals registered their first victory of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 season, securing a thrilling seven-wicket win over UP Warriorz. The nail-biting encounter, held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 14, 2026, went down to the very last ball. Delhi Capitals successfully chased a target of 155 runs, with openers Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma laying a strong foundation with a commanding 94-run partnership. Lizelle Lee was in superb form, smashing 67 runs off just 44 balls, including eight fours and three sixes, marking her second consecutive half-century. Shafali Verma contributed a brisk 36 runs from 32 deliveries and also made a significant impact with the ball, taking two wickets for only 16 runs in her four overs, proving to be an unlikely bowling hero. Despite the strong start, the Capitals made the chase challenging for themselves, needing six runs off the final over. However, Laura Wolvaardt held her nerve to hit a perfectly timed cover drive for a boundary off the final delivery, sealing the maiden win for Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2026 season. Shafali Verma's all-round brilliance earned her the Player of the Match award. This victory was crucial for the Delhi Capitals, who had previously lost their opening two matches of the season.
