Prediction

Delhi Capitals Women to Win (65-35 edge). UPW’s hopes hinge on Athapaththu or Harris producing a solo masterclass, but DCW’s balance makes them the safer bet.

Despite UPW’s star-studded roster, their lack of cohesion and DCW’s historical dominance tilt the scales. DCW’s deep batting lineup and versatile bowling attack are better suited to exploit UPW’s inconsistencies. Expect Lanning’s side to capitalize on UPW’s fragile confidence and secure a comfortable win.
