UP Warriorz have lost four out of their last five games. One thing that works in their favor while looking at their recent form is that four of these games came in the previous season. They have a pretty weak squad and will need their skipper for the season, Deepti Sharma to step up if they are to win more matches.

Delhi Capitals Women’s recent form

The two-time finalists, the Delhi Capitals Women’s team have had a tough start to their season. The Lanning-led side won their first game against MI Women but they were far from being as good as they were in the last two seasons. In their next game, DC Women lost to RCB Women by eight wickets as both their batters and bowlers had an off day.
