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 WPL 2026 with 17 wickets. His influence goes far beyond bowling.
In eight matches, the New Zealand star has scored 237 runs with two half-centuries. His ability to strike in the powerplay and death overs makes him a major threat for DC-W.
With her all-round dominance, Devine remains GG-W’s biggest match-winner and will once again look to clinch a historic maiden berth in the WPL finals. Beth Mooney has also been impressive and has scored over 190 runs so far this season.
The partnership of Divine and Mooney will be crucial for GG-W against DC-W in the eliminator.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Anushka Sharma, Ashley Gardner, Bharti Fulmali, Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham.
Ashley 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 reliable batsman in the middle order, where Anushka Sharma will also play an important role.
Anushka has made an instant impact in her debut WPL season, scoring 161 runs in 6 innings so far for Gujarat Giants.
Georgia Wareham also returned to her form with both bat and ball. Bharti Fulmali and Kanika Ahuja are also expected to make big contributions in helping GG-W make it to the WPL finals for the first time.
Bowlers: Kashvi Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar, Renuka Singh Thakur, Rajeshwari Gaikwad
In the eliminator against DC-W, the focus will be on Rajeshwari Gaikwad (10 wickets in 7 matches) and Renuka Singh Thakur (7 wickets in 8 matches). However, Kashvi Gautam and Tanuja Kanwar need to step up in the big game on home turf Vadodara.
Gujarat Giants Women Playing XI (Expected): Beth Mooney (wk), Sophie Devine, Anushka Sharma, Ashley Gardner (c), Bharti Fulmali, Georgia Wareham, Kanika Ahuja, Kashvi Gautam, Tanuja Kanwar, Renuka Singh Thakur, Rajeshwari Gaikwad.
Delhi Capitals Women Playing XI vs Gujarat Giants Women-Eliminator, WPL 2026
Openers: Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma
Lizelle Lee (240 runs in 8 matches) has been impressive at the top of the order, but the inconsistency of Shafali Verma (208) remains a matter of concern for the Delhi camp.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, Nikki Prasad, Sneh Rana.
Delhi Capitals’ women’s middle-order, comprising Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, Nikki Prasad and Sneh Rana, has struggled with the bat this season, so Laura Wolvaardt (241 runs in 8 matches) and Jemimah Rodrigues (166 runs in 8 matches) will have to play long innings in a high-pressure game.
However, Kapp and Henry have been very effective with the ball, and have taken 19 wickets together so far in the ongoing Women’s Premier League. But Rana has failed to perform well with the ball this season.
Bowlers: Nandani Sharma, Shree Charani, Minnu Mani
Delhi’s bowling attack is led by fast bowler Nandini Sharma. He has taken most of his 14 wickets in the death overs, which has helped DC-W stay in the fight during close matches.
Left-arm spinner Sri Charani has provided solid support with 14 wickets, while Marizanne Kapp has added experience and control with her 10 wickets. Charani will be key in the middle overs to break Gujarat’s partnerships in the WPL 2026 Eliminator.
