UP-W vs DEL-W - Toss Factor 

The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy has been a balanced one so far. As the game progresses, the wicket gets better for batting, and the team winning the toss might look to bat second.  

Scenario: If UP Warriorz win the toss

While batting second has been preferred at the Chinnaswamy wicket, the UP Warriroz might also look to do otherwise. They failed to chase the target in the game against the RCB; keeping that in mind, they might look to bat first. However, the general trend and the stats tell us that batting second should be the way to go. Whatever the case, Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath will be the most important picks from the team. 

Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the toss

  • The Capitals' batting, especially the middle order, performed well in the last match. So, players like Alice Capsey and Jemimah Rodrigues will be essential picks. 
  • Annabel Sutherland looked off-colour in the first game. But if she gets her rhythm back, she can be a game-changer with both bat and ball. This makes Sutherland a great pick as the captain or vice-captain. 


UP-W vs DEL-W - Top Captain and Vice Captain Picks

Scenario: UP Warriorz win the match

Alyssa Healy (UP-W) - The Australian keeper and opener is an explosive batter. Alyssa Healy can take the game away from the opposition very quickly. If Warriorz have to win this game, then Healy needs to play a significant hand.

Tahlia McGrath (UP-W) - The Australian all-rounder found it hard to get going with the bat. Tahlia McGrath also did not look at her best with the ball. But if the Warriroz are to do well, McGrath will surely leave an impact and will be a beneficial choice for the game. 


Scenario: Delhi Capitals win the match

Alice Capsey (DEL-W) - The English all-rounder showed how good she could be with the bat in the previous game. Capsey can also be useful with the ball and give points in both innings. 

Annabel Sutherland (DEL-W) - The Aussie all-rounder is an impactful player. Though she struggled with form in the last game, one cannot Gardner as she can change the complexion of a match on her own. 


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

Shweta Sehrawat (UP-W): The young Indian batter failed to impress in the first match. But she looked the part in this edition's first game. Even though Sehrawat is in a good touch, her coming out to bat lower down the order makes Shweta a risky choice. 

Shafali Verma (DEL-W) - The Indian opener failed to fire big in the first match. But Shafali Verma can change the complexion of a game with her aggressive batting. But the risk with her is the lack of consistency, and it is up to you to go with her. 


UP-W vs DEL-W Stay Aways

KP Navgire (UP-W): She is a powerful lower-order batter. However, given the conditions at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Navgire having enough to leave any impact looks tough. She also does not bowl and can be a player you can avoid for the game. 

Taniya Bhatia (DEL-W): She is an excellent wicket-keeper. But Taniya Bhatia bats in the lower-order and her skills are pretty one-dimensional. So Bhatia might be a Capitals player you can ignore for the game.
