The Delhi Capitals clinched their place in the Women's Premier League 2023 final following their five-wicket win over UP Warriorz at the Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday night. With the victory, the Delhi franchise secured the top spot on the leaderboard.
The all-rounder Alice Capsey proved to be the star of the game, picking up figures of 3/26 and scoring 34 runs from 31 balls against UP. In a media release issued by the franchise, Capsey expressed her joy in learning from her teammates during the tournament.
"It's been great to learn from players like Meg Lanning, Jess Jonassen, and Marizanne Kapp. There's so much experience in the change room. There's also the exciting Shafali Verma, who strikes the ball so well. I've been able to pick up different things from lots of people," said Capsey.
The 18-year-old also shared her thoughts on her battle against her English teammate Sophie Ecclestone.
"It's always good fun to come up against Sophie Ecclestone. She's world number one for a reason. I thought she bowled very well, and it was nice to battle with her. We've played together in the last year, so we are always double guessing about each other's moves on the field," she said.
Looking ahead to the final, Capsey said, "We'll take a couple of days to rest and recover. I'll take my mind away from the game for a while. Then we'll get our minds ready and go into the big game. Really looking forward to the final."
The Delhi Capitals will face the winner of the Eliminator match between Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz in the Women's Premier League 2023 final at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
