Delhi captain Meg Lanning smashed her second consecutive WPL half century and Jess Jonassen produced an all-round show as the Capitals flexed their batting muscle for a 42-run win over UP Warriorz in the Women's Premier League on Tuesday. Australian skipper led from the front with an entertaining 70 off 42 balls as Delhi Capitals once again flaunted their firepower to reach 211 for four against UP Warriorz after being put in to bat. Jess Jonassen, who hammered an unbeaten 42 off 20 balls, returned to take three wickets that shut the door on UP Warriorz, who ended at 169 for five in 20 overs. In reply, Warriorz could not recover from Jonassen's twin strike in the fourth over when she removed opposition captain Alyssa Healy (24 off 17 balls) and Kiran Navgire (2). The left-arm spinner beat Healy in the flight and had her caught at point before Navgire fell to a wild slog. Warriorz made a questionable call to leave out Grace Harris, who had won them the game against Gujarat Giants, for the extra pace of Shabnim Ismail. Though Ismail was the best bowler on show, Harris' big hitting prowess was missed in the run chase.
