That concludes the coverage of the WPL 2026 match between the Gujarat Giants and the Delhi Capitals. The Giants have successfully secured their second consecutive victory of the season, while the Capitals, unfortunately, registered their second straight loss. The action in the Women's Premier League will resume tomorrow, 12th January 2026, when the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on the UP Warriorz. The match is scheduled to begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), with pre-match build-up starting an hour earlier. Cheers.
Sophie Devine is the Player Of The Match. Devine expressed relief at the Gujarat Giants' four-run victory over the Delhi Capitals, acknowledging that their score of 209 was strong but still left the game in the balance due to Delhi's formidable batting line-up. While pleased with the win and the team's ability to learn from the contest, she suggested that even scores of 210-220 might not be enough on these high-scoring pitches in the future. Devine praised the excellent batting conditions, which allowed the players to trust the bounce and play their shots, reflecting on the enjoyable and familiar opening partnership she shared with Beth Mooney. She concluded by commending the strong batting displays from both sides, particularly from Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt, anticipating more big totals as the tournament progresses.
The victorious skipper of Gujarat Giants, Ashleigh Gardner, is up for a chat. Gardner admitted that their thrilling victory was a game stolen from the Delhi Capitals. Although her side was in a seemingly comfortable position needing 60 runs from four overs to defend, she acknowledged the dynamic nature of Indian grounds where the ball flies, making the final over with only seven needed a genuine scare. Gardner expressed a strong belief in her team's ability to win from any position. She felt the Giants were perhaps 15 runs short of their potential, possibly missing out on a 230-plus score, but ultimately knew that 200 was a strong total against a powerful batting lineup. Overall, she was thankful to have secured a second win for the team's record.
Presentation ...
Jemimah Rodrigues, the skipper of Delhi Capitals, expresses pride in her team for fighting back and bouncing back from a challenging situation. She commends the bowlers, particularly Nandni Sharma and Sree Charani, for their superb performance, especially after Sophie Devine's aggressive batting. Rodrigues highlights the team's unwavering belief, which was evident in their determination to chase down a high target, even when the required run rate seemed daunting. She acknowledges that her team needs to work on their powerplay bowling and get their plans more sorted. However, she also notes that it's tough to contain a player like Sophie Devine when she's in form. Rodrigues also praises the batting partnerships, describing them as outstanding, and was clearly impressed with the team's overall performance, despite the loss.
Anushka Sharma of Gujarat Giants starts by admiring Sophie Devine and Ashleigh Gardner's incredible batting performances. She talks about a specific fielding effort where she managed to stop a six, saying she was focused on improving her own game. Sharma credits her fielding coach for boosting her confidence. She describes the experience of playing alongside top players like Devine and Gardner as surreal and expresses her appreciation for the support staff, calling it wonderful to be part of the tournament. Sharma emphasizes the importance of having experienced players around, as it motivates the team to improve and grow together
Earlier, the Gujarat Giants posted a formidable total of 209, driven by a blistering knock from Sophie Devine, who raced to a rapid half-century and smashed 32 runs off a single over from Sneh Rana. Devine's explosive 95-run innings, alongside a supporting knock from Beth Mooney, set a strong foundation, though she agonizingly missed a historic WPL century. Captain Ashleigh Gardner anchored the middle order with a solid 49 before Nandni Sharma capped off the innings in dramatic fashion by taking a hat-trick in the final over. Despite Nandni's sensational five-wicket haul, it was a dominant batting display that marked back-to-back 200-plus scores for the Giants.
Despite several batters getting starts in their chase of 210, the Delhi Capitals struggled to keep the required run rate in check. Lizelle Lee top-scored with a well-made 86 but lost momentum, and Shafali Verma had another quiet outing. The task appeared too steep, though Laura Wolvaardt found her rhythm and began smashing the bowlers around the park, bringing the equation down to just 7 runs needed in the final over, a seemingly winning position that Delhi somehow managed to lose. The Giants' bowlers, including two wickets each for Sophie Devine and Rajeshwari Gayakwad and one for Kashvee Gautam, held their nerve, striking at key intervals to defend their total brilliantly amidst the falling dew.
The Queen of the night, without a doubt, was Sophie Devine. Her all-round brilliance was the difference between the two sides. First, she set the stage alight with a magnificent display of power-hitting, smashing 95 runs off just 42 balls to power the Giants to an imposing total of 209. Then, with the game tilted towards DC with the Capitals needing 7 runs off the final over, Devine stepped up with the ball and defended the target like a champion, sealing a dramatic 4-run victory for her team from the jaws of defeat.
What an absolute thriller we have witnessed in the Women's Premier League. If there were any doubts about the quality and drama this tournament provides, this pulsating clash between the Gujarat Giants and the Delhi Capitals has dispelled them emphatically. A game that had everything from blistering batting to a nail-biting finish, truly showcasing the excitement of the WPL.

Sophie Devine To Sneh Rana
Sophie Devine has done it for Gujarat Giants! She pitches it up, fuller and just outside the off-stump. Sneh Rana crouches low and swings her bat to heave it across the line, but gets beaten on the inside edge. Devine defended smartly in the last over and helped her side to win the contest by 4 runs.
Sophie Devine can do no wrong in this game. It was 7 needed off the last over and it has come down to 5 off the last ball. Sneh Rana has walked out in the middle.

Sophie Devine To Laura Wolvaardt OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Laura Wolvaardt loses her wicket in the most pivotal moment and now DC will have a new batter on the crease, where a boundary will take this game to the Super Over. Full-length delivery, on middle and leg. Laura Wolvaardt plants her front foot away from the delivery and miscues her heave to deep mid-wicket. Georgia Wareham from the boundary rope charges forward to take a good catch under pressure.
Just one more and Delhi Capitals now need 5 off the last 2 balls.

Crucial dot delivery! Full-length delivery, on off, Marizanne Kapp drives it to the left of the bowler, but Devine does well to make a stop.
Marizanne Kapp is the next batter out in the middle. Dc needs 6 from the last 4 balls.
Jemimah Rodrigues looked out but she has taken a review. It is closer than it looked to the naked eye. A small spike as the ball is next to the glove of Jemimah Rodrigues and the DC skipper has to walk back.

Sophie Devine To Jemimah Rodrigues OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Appeal goes around for caught behind and up goes the finger. However, Jemimah Rodrigues opts for the review. This is slower and fuller, just outside off, Jemimah Rodrigues shuffles wide across the stumps and sits down on one knee to sweep it over the short fine leg region, but misses and hits the gloves. The ball lobs behind the stumps and Beth Mooney gloves the catch. The third umpire is watching the replay again and again as they want to check if the ball is hitting the arm or the gloves. The third umpire confirmed that the UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball brushes the glove and the on-field decision stands on. A big blow for Gujarat Giants.

But the fielder in the region, Anushka Sharma, times her jump and does outstandingly well to flick the ball into the field of play. Free Hit coming up.
