Gujarat Giants Women

They finally broke their three-match winless streak, winning their previous match against the UP Warriorz Women by 45 runs. While batting first, they posted 153 runs for 8 wickets in their 20 overs, thanks to the resilient knock from Sophie Devine, who struck an unbeaten 50 from 42 balls. In the bowling, Rajeshwari Gayakwad's three-fer and Sophie Devine's two-wickets sealed the match for the team. They are currently sitting at third with 6 points. A victory here will strengthen their playoff qualifications.

 

Delhi Capitals Women 

 

Delhi Capitals Women are back in the tournament, keeping themselves alive with two back-to-back victories in their previous two outings. They had a disappointing start to their new season, had only one victory in their first four matches, and now they are sitting in the second spot with three wins in their total six matches. They defeated the table toppers, RCB Women, by 7 wickets last time out. While bowling first, they bowled out the league leaders on 109 runs. Nandini Sharma yet again showcased her bowling prowess, taking three wickets in her spell. While coming to chase the total, they achieved it in 15.4 overs, thanks to the unbeaten Laura Wolvaardt's knock of 42 off 38 balls.
