In a high-stakes clash at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium, Gujarat Giants posted a challenging 174/9 against Delhi Capitals in the 17th match of the Women’s Premier League 2026. Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field, putting the pressure on Gujarat’s batters from the outset.
Wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney anchored the innings with a gritty half-century, smashing 58 runs off 46 balls, including seven boundaries. Her partnership with Anshuka Sharma proved crucial, adding 54 runs for the second wicket. Sharma fired 39 off 25 deliveries, laced with eight fours, providing the early momentum.
However, the middle order crumbled under Delhi’s spin attack. No other batter could build on the platform, with quick dismissals halting any big surge. Lower down, Tanuja Kanwar sparked late drama, blasting 21 off 11 balls with three fours and a six to push the total to a defendable 174.
Delhi’s N Chرانی shone brightest, claiming 4/31 in her four overs as the standout performer. Chinelle Henry grabbed two wickets, while Marizanne Kapp, Nandani Sharma, and Minnu Mani each picked up one.
Both teams enter this fixture with three wins from six games, making victory essential for a leap to second on the points table. Expect a nail-biter as Delhi chases 175 under lights.
