Gujarat Giants Women( GG-W ) is set to face Delhi Capitals Women( DC-W ) in their Eliminator match during the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026. This match is scheduled to take place at BCA Stadium on Tuesday, February 3.
Gujarat Giants Women have put together a strong league campaign, winning five of their eight matches to finish second on the table and secure a spot in the Eliminator. With momentum on their side, they’ll feel confident about pushing deep into the tournament from here.
Captain Ashleigh Gardner has led from the front with the bat, scoring 244 runs in eight innings at a healthy strike rate of 143. Her average of just over 30 underlines how consistent she’s been, and another handy 25–30 run contribution from her looks well within reach.
Sophie Devine has been just as impactful, piling on 237 runs in eight games while going hard in the powerplay at a strike rate of 153. Beth Mooney has provided stability through the middle with 196 runs, while Anushka Sharma has added spark when required, scoring 161 runs at a strike rate of 130.
Gujarat’s bowling unit has backed up the batting nicely. Devine has also been their standout with the ball, leading the way with 17 wickets in eight matches at under eight an over. Kashvee Gautam and Renuka Singh Thakur have chipped in with a combined 15 wickets, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s 10 scalps give the side plenty of depth and options in the attack.
Delhi Capitals Women, meanwhile, booked their playoff place with a comfortable five-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their final league game. Their journey through the season has had its ups and downs, but that result should give them confidence as they look to finish strong and climb the table.
Lizelle Lee has been their most reliable run-getter, scoring 240 runs from eight innings at a strike rate of 137 and averaging 30. Based on current form, a score in the 25–30 range feels very achievable. Laura Wolvaardt has been equally consistent, matching that 240-run tally at a strike rate of 130, while Jemimah Rodrigues has played a useful supporting role with 166 runs.
At the top, Shafali Verma continues to be explosive, smashing 208 runs and taking the attack to bowlers early in the powerplay, often setting the tone from the very first ball.
With the ball, Nandni Sharma has led the way with 14 wickets at an economy of 7.70, closely supported by Shree Charani, who also has 14 wickets at 7.80. Marizanne Kapp and Chinelle Henry add further punch, sharing 19 wickets between them, giving Delhi a well-rounded attack capable of challenging any batting lineup on this surface.
