Delhi Capitals 123 for 1 (Shafali 64*, Lanning 51) beat UP Warriorz 119 for 9 (Sehrawat 45, Radha 4-20, Kapp 3-5) by nine wickets
Kapp’s freakish spell destroys Warriorz
Four overs. One maiden. Five runs. Three wickets. Capitals could not have asked for a better start from their pace mainstay. Kapp carried forward her red-hot form from international cricket to the WPL to rattle Warriorz’s top order.
In a brilliant display of swing bowling, Kapp started the first over conceding just a run. In her second over – which was a maiden – she removed Vrinda Dinesh, who chased a wide outswinger only to be caught at deep third. Her third over began with the wicket of Tahlia McGrath, who played down the wrong line to a back of a length delivery that went past her outside edge to take the top of off stump. Five balls later, Kapp had Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy as she miscued one to wide mid-off. Shafali did her part, running back to pluck out a clean superb catch.
Kapp bowled four overs straight to set the tone for Capitals.
Sehrawat’s 45 in vain, Radha takes four
Radha, who varied her lengths cleverly, added one more wicket to her tally when she got rid of Sophie Ecclestone in the final over to finish with 4 for 20.
