LIVE UP Warriorz vs Delhi Capitals Women: Ismail provides breakthrough

Ismail strikes! Rodrigues is dismissed LBW, a wicket that comes against the flow of the game. The delivery had some nip in it and Rodrigues failed to connect with the ball, getting hit on the pads low down. Lanning, the non-striker, advised against taking a review but there might have been some doubt if they had opted for it. However, Rodrigues has to depart. Ismail's sheer pace proved too much for the batter. It was a fantastic delivery from Ismail, and she deserves credit for it. So, Rodrigues is out LBW to Ismail for just three runs off three deliveries.

LIVE UP Warriorz vs Delhi Capitals Women: Mid-innings

UP Warriorz managed to reach a total of around 140 runs with the help of a late flourish from McGrath. However, it is believed that they are still 15-20 runs short. While Sehrawat's performance showed promise, Healy and Simran struggled to find their rhythm after her departure. The disciplined lines and length of the Delhi bowlers kept them under pressure. Healy eventually fell trying to force the issue, unable to break free. Despite losing partners regularly, McGrath took her time to settle in and build her innings. The DC bowlers kept chipping away at the wickets with their spinners getting good purchase from the surface and foxing the batters. Nevertheless, McGrath played an outstanding innings once she found her range.
