WPL Eliminator Confirmed for Delhi as UP Knock Out Mumbai with 5-Wicket Win

Delhi Capitals have secured their place in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Eliminator after a dramatic result on Tuesday. Two-time champions Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the tournament as UP Warriorz defeated them by 5 wickets in a must-win league match.

The win helped UP finish their campaign on a high note, while Mumbai’s early exit came as a big shock for fans.

Match Score

Mumbai Indians Women: 149/8 (20 overs)
UP Warriorz Women: 150/5 (18.4 overs)
Result: UP Warriorz won by 5 wickets

Key Moments of the Match

Mumbai Indians batted first but failed to post a big total. The UP bowling attack kept things tight throughout the innings. Marizanne Kapp was the star with the ball, picking up 3 crucial wickets and breaking Mumbai’s momentum in the middle overs.

Despite a few fighting contributions from Mumbai batters, UP restricted them to a manageable score.

In reply, UP Warriorz started confidently and kept the required run rate under control. Their batters showed calmness under pressure and chased down the target with more than an over to spare. The win not only boosted team morale but also played a decisive role in shaping the playoff race.

Impact on the Points Table

This result had a major impact on the standings. While UP Warriorz were already out of playoff contention, their victory ensured that Delhi Capitals officially qualified for the Eliminator.

For Mumbai Indians, the loss proved costly. As two-time WPL champions, expectations were high, but inconsistency throughout the season finally led to their elimination.
