Chinelle Henry's (62) record-equalling half-century and four wickets each for Kranti Goud and Grace Harris gave UP Warriorz their maiden win in the third edition of the Women's Premier League as they beat Delhi Capitals by 33 runs here on Saturday. UPW came roaring back into the contest riding on Henry's excellent 23-ball 62, studded with eight sixes and two fours, to set a 178-run target for the Delhi side.
Henry etched her name in the record books in the first half when she hit an 18-ball fifty to register the joint-fastest fifty in WPL history in terms of balls faced, joining Sophia Dunkley who recorded the feat in 2023 edition for Gujarat Giants against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The unheralded Goud then broke the back of Delhi Capitals' chase as they could only manage 144 in 19.3 overs. The 21-year-old uncapped Goud accounted for DC's top-order ¿ Shafali Verma (24), Meg Lanning (5), Jemimah Rodrigues (56) and later on Jess Jonassen (5) to return 4-0-25-4. In their previous meet, Delhi had clinched a commanding seven-wicket win a few days ago but to their credit, UPW produced an all-round performance to record their maiden win in the competition.
