The Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz match will conclude the group stage of the Women’s Premier League 2026 and is scheduled for February 1 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, with the action starting at 7:30 PM IST.
Both teams are currently placed at the bottom of the points table, with Delhi Capitals slightly ahead after securing three wins from seven matches, while UP Warriorz have managed only two victories.
UP Warriorz are already out of playoff contention, but Delhi still have a slim chance of qualification if they can secure a big win. Backed by the batting firepower of Lizelle Lee, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma and Marizanne Kapp, Delhi enter the clash as favourites.

Delhi Capitals vs UPW: Key player battles
Lizelle Lee vs Deepti Sharma
Lee was the standout batter last time, smashing 67 off 44 and dominating most bowlers before Deepti finally dismissed her. This battle of an aggressive opener against clever off-spin in the middle overs could be decisive. If Lee clears Deepti again, DCW can run away with the game; if Deepti strikes early, UPW stay in control.
Lizelle Lee vs Deepti Sharma in T20s: 57 runs; 45 balls; 2 dismissals
Meg Lanning vs Marizanne Kapp
Lanning played a captain's knock of 54 off 38 to anchor UPW's 154, but Kapp was DCW's best bowler with 2/24, including the early wicket of Navgire and a tight powerplay. As Kapp is likely to open the bowling and Lanning opens the batting, this classic international matchup in the first 6 overs could dictate which team gets the upper hand.
Meg Lanning vs Marizanne Kapp in T20s: 82 runs; 99 balls; 7 dismissals
Shafali Verma vs Asha Sobhana
Shafali gave DCW a strong platform with 36 off 32, but leg-spinner Asha Sobhana provided UPW's only breakthrough in the top order by dismissing her. Shafali loves attacking spin, while Sobhana's variations were economical overall. This contest, likely in the powerplay or early middle overs, will test whether Shafali can dominate leg-spin or if Sobhana can repeat her wicket-taking impact.
Shafali Verma vs Asha Sobhana in T20s: 28 runs; 17 balls; 2 dismissals
As of the current WPL 2026 season, out of all eight matches played at the Vadodara Stadium, teams batting first have a clear edge with 5 wins. The average first innings score this season, at this ground, is 160.
Hence, expect fireworks with the bat. Given the current trend, captains winning the toss would like to bowl first here. However, teams chasing at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara have failed miserably this season.

Delhi Capitals vs UPW Match Winner Prediction: Who will win WPL 2026 match 20?
In overall head-to-head records, Delhi Capitals have the edge over UPW with 5 wins out of 7 matches, and hence, they are favourites to dominate. Both teams are in poor form this season, yet, with DC still eyeing a spot for the playoffs, the Jemimah Rodrigues-led team might win the match in a do-or-die situation against Warriorz.
