DC-W vs UP-W Pitch Report
Expert Analysis by Deep Dasgupta & Stacy-Ann King
Deep Dasgupta:
- The same pitch from the first two games will be used tonight.
- Previous matches saw 160 and 200 runs successfully chased down.
- Boundary dimensions: One side is 49 meters, the other is 59 meters, while straight down is 70 meters.
Stacy-Ann King:
- The surface has settled since the 200-run chase, making another high-scoring game unlikely.
- The pitch remains firm and hard, so runs will still be on offer.
- Batters must avoid losing wickets early in the powerplay. They should aim to set a strong total for the bowlers to defend.
Deep Dasgupta (final verdict):
- Not a 200-run pitch, but still better than the previous matches.
- Expect a decent batting surface with good competition between bat and ball.
Delhi has chosen to chase, so now all eyes are on UP Warriorz’ batters. They need to set a strong target in this exciting WPL 2025 clash!
