Gujarat Giants Women Playing XI vs Delhi Capitals Women – Eliminator, WPL 2026
Openers: Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine
Sophie Devine has been the heartbeat of Gujarat Giants’ campaign and enters the eliminator as the most dangerous player on the field. She is currently the leading wicket taker in the WPL 2026 with 17 wickets. Her impact goes far beyond bowling.
In eight matches, the New Zealand star has also scored 237 runs, hitting two half-centuries. Her ability to strike in the powerplay and at the death makes her a big threat to DC-W.
With her all-round dominance, Devine remains GG-W’s biggest match-winner and will once again carry their hopes as they chase a historic first-ever place in the WPL Final. Beth Mooney has also been impressive, scoring over 190 runs so far this season.
Devine and Mooney’s partnership will be key for the GG-W against DC-W in the Eliminator.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Anushka Sharma, Ashleigh Gardner, Bharti Fulmali, Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham
Ashleigh Gardner has been the main support of GG-W’s batting this season. The Australian all-rounder is their top run-scorer with 244 runs at an average of 30.50. She is their most dependable batter in the middle order, where Anushka Sharma will also hold the key.
Anushka made an instant impact in their debut WPL season, scoring 161 runs across 6 innings for the Gujarat Giants so far.
Georgia Wareham also returned to her form with both bat and ball. Bharti Fulmali and Kanika Ahuja are also expected to make big contributions to help GG-W make their first-ever WPL final.
Bowlers: Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar, Renuka Singh Thakur, Rajeshwari Gayakwad
Rajeshwari Gayakwad (10 wickets in 7 games) and Renuka Singh Thakur (7 wickets in 8 games) will be the focus in the Eliminator against DC-W. However, Kashvee Gautam and Tanuja Kanwar need to step up in the big game at the home ground in Vadodara.
Gujarat Giants Women Playing XI (Predicted): Beth Mooney (WK), Sophie Devine, Anushka Sharma, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Bharti Fulmali, Georgia Wareham, Kanika Ahuja, Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar, Renuka Singh Thakur, Rajeshwari Gayakwad
Delhi Capitals Women Playing XI vs. Gujarat Giants Women—Eliminator, WPL 2026
Openers: Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma
Lizelle Lee (240 runs in 8 games) has been impressive at the top of the order, but Shafali Verma’s (208) inconsistency remains a concern for the Delhi camp.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, Niki Prasad, Sneh Rana
Delhi Capitals Women’s middle order, featuring Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, Niki Prasad, and Sneh Rana, has been struggling this season with the bat, so Laura Wolvaardt (241 runs in 8 games) and Jemimah Rodrigues (166 runs in 8 games) will have to play longer innings in the high-pressure game.
However, Kapp and Henry have been very effective with the ball, taking 19 wickets together so far in the ongoing Women’s Premier League. But Rana has also failed to deliver with the ball this season.
Bowlers: Nandani Sharma, Shree Charani, Minnu Mani
Delhi’s bowling attack has been led by fast bowler Nandani Sharma. She has taken most of her 14 wickets at the death, helping DC-W stay in the fight during close matches.
The left-arm spinner Shree Charani has given solid support with 14 wickets, while Marizanne Kapp has added experience and control with her 10 wickets. Charani will be important in the middle overs to break Gujarat’s partnerships in the WPL 2026 Eliminator.
