UP-W vs DEL-W injury update, key players
UP Warriorz injury update UP Warriorz have reported no fresh injury concerns reported ahead of the game and come in winning their last two encounters.
UP-W wicketkeeper/batters: Grace Harris on fire; Alyssa Healy eager for more runs
Grace Harris has been scoring runs at a canter with knocks of 72, 39 and 46 in the last three outings. Skipper Alyssa Healy (wicket-keeper) couldn't fire in the last game but has been in good form with knocks of 58 and 96 recently.
Among other batters, Kiran Navgire's weakness against short-ball is exposed and is often exploited while Shabnim Shaikh scored just two runs while replacing Shweta Sehrawat in the lower order.
UP-W all-rounders: Tahlia McGrath scores her third WPL fifty; Parshavi impresses with maiden wickets
Tahlia McGrath touched the 50-run mark for the third time as the Australian scored a crucial 57 while chasing 179. She earlier in the season scored knocks such as 50 and 90*. McGrath has been kept off bowling duty for the season.
Among other all-rounders, Deepti Sharma had an off-day as she conceded 49 runs in four overs for no wicket while scoring just 6 runs. U-19 star Parshavi Chopra picked her maiden WPL wicket in her second game as the leg spinner bowled a credible 2/29 while others went for runs.
Devika Vaidya once again flopped at the top of the order with an innings of 7 as her days in the UP Warriorz playing 11 looks numbered as she is kept away from bowling as well off late.
UP-W bowlers: Sophie Ecclestone leads Purple Cap race; Gayakwad picks two wickets
Sophie Ecclestone continues to be the star performer of the team with 13 wickets, which also puts her in front of the Purple Cap race. She bowled a 1/27 in the last game with conditions favouring batters.
Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad was impressive too as she finally picked wickets in bunches and has got better with the tournament proceeding.
Left-arm pacer Anjali Sarwani has been the sole pacer in the line-up with Shabnim Ismail and Lauren Bell unable to find a place due to overseas quota. She also was effective in the last game with a spell of 1/21 (3 overs)
Delhi Capitals injury update, team news
There's no new update on injuries from UP Warriorz camp as well for the game.
DEL-W batters: Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma lead the charge
Openers Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma have been pivotal to the team's success with 271 and 220 runs respectively this season. Jemimah Rodrigues has been key in the middle-order with crucial knocks, especially at the death.
DEL-W all-rounders: Marizzane Kapp and Alice Capsey deliver from both ends
Marizzane Kapp has been influential with her bat and ball as she scored 125 runs at an average of 41 and took nine wickets. She also was adjudged player of the match in DC's win over Mumbai Indians with a spell of 2/13.
Alice Capsey has often fired runs in the death overs with a strike rate over 180-plus. She has also been a handy spinner with five wickets in six games.
Lef-arm spinner Jess Jonassen, a capable pinch hitter, has picked four wickets in her last two games.
DEL-W bowlers: Sikha Pandey brings her experience into WPL
Sikha Pandey's stock as an Indian pacer has only increased this WPL, especially the way she has bowled in Indian conditions when pacers have been largely ineffective. Her control over line and length and varying pace has kept the batters guessing as she has picked 10 wickets in seven games while bowling at an economy rate of 6.61.
Young pacer Arundhati Reddy bowled a good spell as well in the last game at 1/10 (3 overs) and scored a 25 in the match before. Young Indian spinner Radha Yadav has also been part of the line-up but has struggled to take wickets while bowling at a decent economy.
