That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo tonight. Thanks for joining our coverage. On behalf of M Venkat Raghav, this is Sreshth Shah saying thank you for your company. See you tomorrow, on international women's day, for more WPL action.

11.18pm Time for the presentation.

Jess Jonassen is Player of the Match for her 20-ball 42 and three-for: " Tonight it was probably Jess the batter. I went for a few more runs with the ball today. Enjoying with Delhi Capitals. (Enjoying this role?) Something I love, batting. I do it in my domestic league as well in Australia. Wicket was incredible. (Bowling to Healy) She definitely hits me a lot in the nets so good to get one up over her. McGrath got one-up over me. Always enjoyable to play fellow Australians."

Winning captain Meg Lanning: Nice start to the tournament. Batting was great. Jess and Jemimah did a great job. Bowling wise, we took early wickets, so that certainly helps. (Batting, personal) Thoroughly enjoyed batting in India. Good wickets here, ball goes well along the ground.... so far so good. (So many 200+ scores) It is not surprising. When Australia have toured India, they are pretty high scoring. Will be interesting to see the scores as we play more games at the same stadium. (Getting to know the Indian players) Little bit. It has been pretty quick and enjoyable. Everyone has been friendly. (Orange cap) Hopefully for a few more games."

Kapp, Capitals allrounder: Last year I've got some confidence and that is helping with my batting. The openers have been exceptional. Meg again today. We are blessed to have such a good all-round team. The way Jess came out firing, great, many people raising their hand. (Her personal plan from here) I'm going to go and have a bowl after this interview (laughs). The biggest thing for me is to adapt quicker. First match I was bit too full, today I was bit too short in my first over. In the back end, it is tough bowling because the field is small and the wicket is good. So you need a lot more runs as a bowling team in the death. (Pitches) Not like home. I think sometimes it feels like you can close your eyes and bat there, that's how easy it is. You can see, that batters are tough to contain when they get set in."

Manav: "One can see a clear difference in players from Australia and rest of the world. They are champions for a reason."

Losing captain Healy: That's T20 cricket. We conceded 65 in the last five and then lost three wickets in the powerplay. (Anything you want to change?) I don't think so. We would've killed for Grace at that situation in the end but I thought Ismail was great at the top and did everything asked of her. It is tough when you have five great international players. We gave too many in the run, 180-ish we would've liked to chase. McGrath was great. (Her own batting strategy) We knew we had to come firing. But maybe a little too lose in that over to Jono. We just needed someone to go at more than a run a ball with McGrath. T-Mac was amazing. (Direction now?) Positives are we are doing many things well but letting ourselves down in small areas. In a short tournament, it is about mindset more about trying to fix. Fielding, few areas with the ball."

Amit: "I am excited about Delhi facing Mumbai. Both teams are top batting heavy but I would think Mumbai have a slight edge simply because they have been able to bowl out their oppositions in both games while Delhi have been able to contain their opposition."

11.05pm Tahlia McGrath has single-handedly ensured that the UP Warriorz don't get a massive NRR hit, losing only by 42 in the end. Her innings showed that this was a mighty good batting surface and if it wasn't for a powerplay performance of 33/3, the Warriorz could've very well have had a fair crack at chasing 212 down.

Credit to Jess Jonassen (3 for 43), Marizanne Kapp (1 for 29) and Shikha Pandey (1 for 18) for doing their bits, also to Alice Capsey for a tidy performance with 0 for 25.

McGrath was simply fabulous but she needed one more batter to bat in her tempo. It wasn't to be as the all-round batting performance from the Capitals proved too much for the UP side in the end.

Sundar: "Except for that one game with the Grace Harris onslaught, the rest have been pretty one sided games. Not a good look so far."
