Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women Match Prediction & Analysis (Who Will Win?)
Delhi Capitals Women are strong favourites to win this decisive clash and strengthen their playoff position. This prediction is based on three key factors: historical dominance, current head-to-head momentum, and the venue conditions. Delhi boasts a commanding 5-2 record against UP and convincingly beat them by 7 wickets earlier this season. Furthermore, the BCA Stadium in Vadodara heavily favours the chasing side due to dew, and Delhi’s powerful top order featuring Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma is perfectly built to chase down targets. While the Warriorz will fight desperately, Delhi’s superior record and suitability to the conditions give them a clear edge. Prediction: Delhi Capitals Women to win.

DCW vs UPWW Weather & Pitch Report
The pitch at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara offers a slight advantage to pace bowlers (55%) over spinners (45%). The defining characteristic is the strong impact of dew in the second innings, which gives a massive advantage to the team batting second, making chasing significantly easier than setting a target.
The weather in Vadodara will be pleasant and clear for the evening match, with low humidity (31%) and a minimal (1%) chance of rain. These conditions are ideal for cricket but will also facilitate dew formation later.
DCW vs UPWW Toss Prediction
Given the overwhelming disadvantage of bowling second due to heavy dew at this venue, the captain winning the toss will undoubtedly choose to bowl first.
