Delhi Capitals booked their place in the Women's Premier League play-offs with a five-wicket win over UP Warriorz.
The victory means Capitals will face Gujarat Giants in Tuesday's Eliminator, for a place against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Thursday's final.
The defeat leaves UP Warriorz bottom of the five-team table, and defending champions Mumbai Indians drop down to fourth and miss out on the play-offs for the first time in the tournament's four-year history.
Capitals won the toss in Vadodara and elected to bowl first and got off to a superb start with West Indies all-rounder Chinelle Henry trapping Meg Lanning lbw with the game's first ball.
It set the tone for the innings as Warriorz struggled up to 122-8 with opener Deepti Sharma top-scoring with 24.
South Africa's Marizanne Kapp was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 3-30, including the wicket of Deepti and West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin.
Capitals lost Lizelle Lee in the second over but Shafali Verma and Laura Wolvaardt put on 73 for the second wicket to put them in control.
However, both fell in quick succession, and Kapp and Henry followed to leave Capitals 101-5 and needing 22 from 22 balls.
They got over the line with eight balls to spare with captain Jemimah Rodrigues making an unbeaten 34 off 18 balls.
