With a spot in their fourth straight Women’s Premier League final on the line, Delhi Capitals face their toughest test yet when they take on a confident Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara.
Three-time finalists, the Capitals are still chasing their elusive maiden title but head into the do-or-die clash as underdogs after losing both league-stage meetings against the Giants this season. Those defeats, however, were by the narrowest of margins — four runs in the first encounter and three in the second — underlining just how evenly matched the two sides are.
Leadership form could play a decisive role, with both teams led by captains in strong touch. Jemimah Rodrigues has steadily grown into her role in her first major captaincy assignment for the Capitals, while Gujarat skipper Ashleigh Gardner has been in outstanding form. Gardner is currently the fifth-highest run-scorer in the tournament, amassing 244 runs from eight matches at a strike rate of 142.69.
The Giants’ firepower is further strengthened by veteran allrounder Sophie Devine, who has been a standout performer this season. The tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 17 scalps, Devine’s knack for delivering crucial spells and match-winning performances makes her a key threat as Gujarat look to continue their dominance over Delhi when it matters most.
