GG W vs DC W Match Analysis
The Women’s Premier League 2026 reaches its knockout heartbeat as Gujarat Giants Women face Delhi Capitals Women in the Eliminator at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, under lights, with everything riding on one night and one performance.
Gujarat Giants Women arrive with momentum that feels earned rather than accidental. After early stumbles, their recent L L W W W run shows a team that has corrected flaws at pace. The 11-run win over the Mumbai Indians Women showcased composure, power, and control, highlighted by Georgia Wareham’s all-round brilliance and Ashleigh Gardner’s calm leadership in pressure moments.
Delhi Capitals Women, meanwhile, remain dangerous despite mixed form. Their L W W L W sequence reflects adaptability rather than inconsistency. The five-wicket chase against UP Warriorz Women underlined their bowling discipline, especially Marizanne Kapp’s impact spell, and their batting’s ability to pace a pursuit on a surface that doesn’t always forgive impatience.

Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara Pitch Report
Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara
The Kotambi Stadium pitch has lived up to its “batter’s paradise” reputation in WPL 2026, though it has subtly evolved into a more balanced surface. Early overs reward clean hitters with true bounce, while the black-soil base introduces grip for spinners during the middle phase. Average first-innings scores hover around 148.5, but dew later often turns chases into controlled sprints.
Weather Report
Vadodara promises ideal cricketing weather with clear skies and no rain threat. Evening temperatures will settle around 25°C before dipping further, while humidity is expected to rise sharply. This combination almost guarantees heavy dew in the second innings, making bowling tougher and significantly boosting chasing prospects, especially for teams with calm finishers and flexible batting orders.

Gujarat Giants Women vs Delhi Capitals Women Team Preview & Squads
Gujarat Giants Women
Ashleigh Gardner’s captaincy has been the quiet axis around which GG W’s resurgence has turned. Her leadership blends instinct with data awareness, allowing aggressive match-ups without panic. Gardner’s own all-around value adds tactical flexibility, letting Gujarat adjust their balance depending on match situations, especially under dew-heavy conditions.
Batting-wise, Gujarat’s structure leans on experience and timing rather than reckless power. Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney provide solidity and intent at the top, while middle-order contributors like Kanika Ahuja and Bharti Fulmali add momentum without overexposure. The recent 167/4 against MI Women reflected smarter shot selection rather than brute force.
Bowling remains Gujarat’s understated strength. Georgia Wareham’s dual role as wicket-taker and finisher gives them control through the middle overs, supported by Renuka Singh and Kim Garth with the new ball. Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s accuracy becomes crucial before dew fully sets in, making early breakthroughs non-negotiable.

Delhi Capitals Women
Jemimah Rodrigues leads DC W with expressive confidence, encouraging positive cricket even under scoreboard pressure. Her leadership style favors proactive decision-making, which suits knockout games where hesitation often proves fatal.
Delhi’s batting is built around versatility. Laura Wolvaardt and Shafali Verma bring contrasting tempos at the top, allowing adaptability based on conditions. The middle order, powered by Marizanne Kapp and Lizelle Lee, thrives in chases where calculated aggression matters more than early dominance.
Bowling remains DC W’s most reliable currency. Kapp’s ability to strike in key phases, combined with Shree Charani’s control and Alana King’s variations, gives Delhi a multi-layered attack. On a dew-affected surface, their discipline rather than raw spin could dictate outcomes.
