WPL 2025: Chenille Henry Slams Fastest Fifty Of The Event, Takes UPW To 177/9
The West Indies: Chinelle Henry’s quickfire 62 off 23 balls, propelled UP Warriorz to a competitive score of 177/9 against Delhi Capitals in their Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 match at the M. Chinnaswamy here on Saturday. The West Indies' batter played the rescue act after a four-fer by Jess Jonassen and two scalps each by Arundhati Reddy and Marizanne Kapp had put Delhi Capitals in a dominant position after DC had won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Henry’s innings, at a strike rate of 269.57 with two fours and eight sixes, saw her hit the joint-fastest fifty in WPL history as she reached the milestone in 18 balls. It was certainly an important toss to win for the Capitals, given the team that has won the toss here has chosen to bowl first and gone on to win the game in each of the seven matches played so far.
After being put to bat first, UP Warriorz started cautiously but were dealt their first blow in the third over. Marizanne Kapp claimed her first wicket of the night off a full-length delivery which caught a faint edge of Vrinda Dinesh’s bat, which was confirmed upon review by DC.
