Lanning’s experience helps Capitals beat Warriorz

• Delhi Capitals defeated UP Warriorz by seven wickets in the first leg of the WPL 3.

• Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma’s partnership led the Capitals to a splendid start, chasing the Warriorz’s 166 for seven.

• Shafali Verma’s four and six off successive balls in the first over put pressure on the bowlers.

• Sophie Ecclestone sent Jemimah Rodrigues back for a two-ball duck, but Lanning remained calm.

• Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp took their side home with an unbroken fourth wicket stand of 48.

• Kiran Navgire and Henry’s opening knocks and Shweta Sehrawat’s mature innings were key to the victory.
