  • Pick their overseas cricketers in the team.

Marizanne Kapp (DEL-W): The Proteas all-rounder has been doing his task with the ball brilliantly. On most occasions, she gets the early breakthrough with the new ball and has the potential to get breakthroughs in the middle order slog over phases. Kapp also adds value with the bat in hand.

Jess Jonassen (DEL-W): The current purple cap holder of the competition has been taking three-fers in each of her game for fun. Jonassen has the ability to bowl across various phases of the game and she can also play quickfire knocks with the blade.

Grace Harris (UP-W): The all-rounder failed to keep up with her good form since the last two games of the Warriorz. She bowls in the powerplay and can take wickets. But her primary role is with the bat and Harris can win matches on her own will.

Chamari Athapaththu (UP-W): The Sri Lankan all-rounder may not have had merry time with the bat during WPL 2024 but she has been brilliant in the other two dimensions of her game i.e. fielding and bowling. However, Athapaththu could just be around a big knock at the need of hour.


DEL-W vs UP-W - High Risk High Reward Picks

Deepti Sharma (UP-W): The Indian all-rounder notched up a half-century in the last game against Mumbai Indians. She has is a great all-rounder but not always she gets enough balls to score a big knock. But Deepti can be super effective with her finger spin.

Shafali Verma (DEL-W): The opening batter has been taking the new ball bowlers for a tour on her day. She scored two fifties in the lucrative cricket event and started off well in Delhi's latest game as well. 


DEL-W vs UP-W Stay Aways

Taniya Bhatia (DEL-W): The wicketkeeper-batter comes to bat very low down the order and hence she is not a good choice for the fantasy teams. Bhatia is chosen for the specific role of keeping the wickets. 

Poonam Khemnar (UP-W): The all-rounder hardly gets enough chances to bowl in matches. In addition, Khemnar also bats very low in the batting order therefore reducing chances for huge points.
