The upcoming match in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024, match number 4, is set to take place between UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, February 26. Both teams are looking to bounce back from defeats in their opening matches. Delhi Capitals faced a loss against Mumbai Indians, while UP Warriorz narrowly missed out against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
