The ace all-rounder Deepti Sharma produced a memorable performance to boost UP Warriorz to a 1-run win against Delhi Capitals in the crucial Women’s Premier League 2024 game on Friday.
Deepti top-scored with 59 runs off 48 balls to help UP Warriorz post 138 batting first and then took a hat-trick to bowl out Delhi Capitals on 137. A win kept UP Warriorz alive in the race for the knockout qualification with six points in seven games.
Captain Meg Lanning kept the game in favour of Delhi for the majority of the time with her fourth fifty of the season. But Deepti Sharma’s two big wickets in the 19th over paved the way for the Warriorz’s comeback followed by a match-winning three-wicket heroics from Grace Harris in the 20th over.
