WPL 2025: Lapses In UPW’s Fielding Helped DC Chase Down The Target, Says Mithali Raj
Although Delhi Capitals: Former India captain Mithali Raj pointed out that the UP Warriorz sloppy work in fielding was one of the big reasons why Delhi Capitals managed to chase down 167 and win by seven wickets in match six of WPL 2025.
After restricting UPW to 166/7, captain Meg Lanning set the foundation for DC’s chase with 69. But after she fell, DC needed 32 runs off the last three overs. The experienced Marizanne Kapp (29 not out) and Annabel Sutherland (41 not out) stepped up to complete the chase in the last over to ensure DC signed off from WPL 2025 Vadodara leg on a high.
They were also helped by dropped catch of Marizanne by substitute Alana King and misfields got them back-to-back boundaries in the final over. Their sloppy fielding efforts were summed up by Tahlia McGrath failing to collect the ball from mid-on at the non-striker's end which could have led to a run-out of Marizanne, but it turned out to be the winning run for DC.
