UPW vs DC, WPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

UP Warriorz (UPW) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 20 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai in the second match of the double-header on Tuesday, March 21. Both teams have qualified for the playoffs, but neither side will be keen to end the league stage on a losing note.

UP have recovered brilliantly since going down to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), registering wins over Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Giants (GT) in their last two matches.

They pulled off a tough 179-run chase against Gujarat. Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath once again stood up for the team and yet again it was Sophie Ecclestone who held her nerves at the end to take UPW past the finish line.

Delhi have a lot to play for in Tuesday’s match. The thumping win over Mumbai has pushed them to the top of the points table. Another triumph against UP Warriorz could see them finish as table-toppers and claim a spot directly in the final. They will be raring to go after their stupendous showing against MI.
