Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz (UPW vs DC) are set to face off in Match 15 of the Women’s Premier League. The exciting match is scheduled for Friday (Mar 8) at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi.
Delhi Capitals have done a fantastic job in WPL 2024, emerging victorious in four out of five matches and virtually guaranteeing their place in the playoffs. Their current aim is to secure the top spot and secure a direct qualification for the final, just like they did in the previous season.
On the flip side, the UP Warriorz have dropped out of the playoff spots and are now in fourth place in the league table after losing to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are looking to win two out of their last three matches to secure a playoff spot for the second year in a row.

UPW vs DC Pitch report
Last year’s World Cup witnessed an incredibly flat surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, resulting in high-scoring matches where teams frequently exceeded the 400-run mark while batting first. We can expect similar pitch conditions for the upcoming match.
Yet, during the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the pitch was slow, causing difficulties for the Delhi Capitals. Looking at how the pitch behaved in the ODI World Cup, it might be better to choose to chase.

UPW vs DC Dream11 Prediction WPL: Who Will Win The Match
Delhi Capitals are the team to watch out for in WPL 2024 and are determined to secure their playoff spot by defeating the UP Warriorz in their upcoming match.
Although UP Warriorz will see this match as a make-or-break opportunity for their playoff aspirations, overcoming the top team in the tournament will be a tough challenge that they may struggle to achieve.
Conclusion
The DC Women vs UP Warriorz clash of WPL 2024 won’t be affected by the rain, but the match could face challenges if the dew sets in. The pitch conditions are expected to be quite different from the first leg, where batters had the upper hand at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Delhi Stadium will provide an opportunity for bowlers to shine.
