Giants, Capitals Clash in High-Stakes WPL 2025 Showdown: Gujarat Giants Women vs Delhi Capitals Women

The Gujarat Giants Women are on a roll, with back-to-back comprehensive wins over Royal Challengers Bengaluru and UP Warriorz, and now they face their toughest challenge yet: the table-topping Delhi Capitals Women. The Capitals, led by Meg Lanning, have already secured their playoffs berth, but they won't take their foot off the pedal as they aim for a direct ticket to the finale.

The Giants' batting order has finally found its rhythm, with Harleen Deol and Ash Gardner back among the runs and Beth Mooney's match-winning act of 96* against UPW adding to their batting might. On the bowling front, the relatively inexperienced pair of Kashvee Gautam and Tanuja Kanwer are leading the charge, with Gautam boasting the best economy rate of 5.30 across all teams and being the second-highest wicket-taker of the season with nine scalps at an average of 11.77.

The Capitals will likely field their strongest XI, despite having already qualified for the playoffs, as they aim to maintain their momentum and peak at the right time. The Giants, on the other hand, will be banking on their bowling to secure early breakthroughs and unsettle the Capitals' opening partnership. With the playoffs qualification hopes rekindled, the Giants will be giving it their all to secure a spot in the next round. The match is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 8 at 7:30 PM IST at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
