DC vs UPW, WPL Live Score: Calm Wolvaardt secures victory for Delhi Capitals in tense chase; first win for DC this season

DC vs UPW, WPL Live Score: Lizelle Lee was at her destructive best for the second game in a row as Delhi Capitals defeated UP Warriorz by seven wickets for their first win of the 2026 Women's Premier League here on Wednesday.

An inexplicable batting collapse in the death overs limited UP Warriorz to a below par 154 for eight. The Meg Lanning-side lost as many as six wickets in the last five overs and managed just 24 runs.

Lee, who smashed 86 in the previous game, did bulk of the work in the run chase for Delhi Capitals with 67 off 44 balls. Her knock included eight fours and three cracking sixes.

Lee, who last played for South Africa in 2022, is making a strong case for a national comeback with her performances in WPL.

The experienced Laura Wolvaardt (25 not out off 24) got Delhi Capitals over the line off the final ball of the match.
