DC W vs GG W Match Analysis
The 4th match of the Women’s Premier League 2026 brings Delhi Capitals Women and Gujarat Giants Women to the batting-friendly Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. An evening start, dew-laced conditions, and early-season momentum make this contest tactically important rather than merely decorative.
Delhi Capitals Women enter this clash with a confident but slightly bruised mindset. Their recent form reads W W W L L, suggesting a side that knows how to win but is still carrying the sting of last season’s final defeat against the Mumbai Indians Women. That narrow loss has sharpened their hunger, and this match offers an early chance to reassert authority in familiar conditions.
Gujarat Giants Women mirror DC-W’s recent form, also coming in at W W W L L, but their trajectory feels more volatile. The heavy defeat against MI Women in the Eliminator exposed structural weaknesses under pressure. Still, with match-winners spread across batting and bowling, GG-W remain dangerous if allowed to dictate tempo rather than react to it.

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai Pitch Report
Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai
The DY Patil surface traditionally rewards positive batting, with even bounce and reliable pace through the line. Scores in the 160–170 range are considered par, but anything above that demands discipline from chasing sides. New-ball movement offers brief assistance to seamers, while spinners grow into the game during the middle overs, provided the ball stays dry.
Weather Report
Weather conditions in Navi Mumbai are near-perfect for cricket, with evening temperatures hovering between 22°C and 24°C. Dew is expected to play a decisive role in the second innings, often neutralizing spin and making chasing more comfortable. With clear skies and minimal rain risk, toss decisions could heavily influence match direction.

Delhi Capitals Women vs Gujarat Giants Women Team Preview & Squads
Delhi Capitals Women
Jemimah Rodrigues’ leadership continues to shape DC-W’s identity. Calm under pressure and proactive in the field, she brings clarity to decision-making, especially in batting orders and bowling rotations. Her captaincy emphasizes intent without recklessness, an asset in tight T20 scenarios where momentum shifts quickly.
Batting remains DC-W’s strongest suit. With Shafali Verma and Laura Wolvaardt capable of explosive starts, the middle order is well-insulated by Jemimah Rodrigues herself and the experience of Lizelle Lee. This structure allows DC-W to attack early while still retaining stability if wickets fall in clusters.
Bowling depth adds another layer of confidence. Marizanne Kapp anchors both disciplines, offering control with the ball and power with the bat. Shree Charani’s role becomes crucial in the middle overs, while support from spinners and seamers ensures DC-W can adapt to dew or defend totals if required.

Gujarat Giants Women
Ashleigh Gardner’s captaincy is built around intensity and versatility. She leads from the front, contributing across phases, but her challenge lies in balancing aggression with structure. When Gardner is involved in key moments, GG-W tends to look far more cohesive and competitive.
The batting lineup carries promise but inconsistency. Beth Mooney and Danni Wyatt-Hodge offer an international pedigree, while Bharti Fulmali’s role becomes vital in bridging the middle overs. If the top order clicks, GG-W can match any side, but collapses remain a recurring concern under scoreboard pressure.
Bowling is where GG-W often find their foothold. Kashvee Gautam provides a wicket-taking threat, while the spin options aim to choke runs in the middle overs. Dew, however, could blunt this advantage, placing extra responsibility on pace and all-around options like Gardner and Kim Garth.
