Tension gripped Vadodara International Cricket Stadium as Gujarat Giants concluded their innings at 174/9, handing Delhi Capitals a daunting chase in WPL 2026’s 17th fixture. Fielded first after losing the toss, Gujarat leaned on star power to post a par-plus score.
Beth Mooney’s elegant 58 off 46 deliveries, adorned with seven fours, steadied the ship. Teaming with Anshuka Sharma for a brisk 54-run alliance, Sharma’s 39 from 25 balls – eight fours blazing – set an aggressive tone.
The innings faltered thereafter, with no batter mounting a rescue. Tanuja Kanwar’s late heroics, 21 runs off 11 balls featuring three fours and a six, lifted Gujarat to a score with teeth.
Delhi’s N Chرانی starred with 4/31 from her spin spell, dismantling the top order. Chinelle Henry took 2 wickets, backed by single strikes from Kapp, Nandani Sharma, and Minnu Mani.
Both squads boast three wins in six, positioning this as a table-shifter. As Delhi embarks on the pursuit of 175, the drama is set to unfold in spectacular fashion.
