Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Gujarat Giants found themselves struggling at 48 for 5 halfway through their innings. Despite a valiant effort from Bharati Fulmali, who scored a crucial 42 runs off 36 balls, and contributions from Kathryn Bryce (28 runs off 22 balls) and Phoebe Litchfield (21 runs off 22 balls), they could only muster a total of 126 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. The disciplined bowling from Delhi Capitals, spearheaded by Marizanne Kapp, Shikha Pandey, and Minnu Mani, each claiming 2 wickets, restricted the Giants effectively.

In response, Delhi Capitals Women chased down the target of 127 runs with ease in just 13.1 overs. Shafali Verma displayed her batting prowess with a scintillating innings of 71 runs off 37 balls, featuring 7 fours and 5 sixes. Her aggressive approach put the Gujarat Giants bowlers on the back foot right from the start. Jemimah Rodrigues provided valuable support with an unbeaten 38 runs off 28 balls. Despite a brief flurry of wickets, including skipper Meg Lanning and Alice Capsey falling in quick succession, the Capitals remained unfazed. Tanuja Kanwar was the pick of the bowlers for the Giants, claiming 2 wickets for 20 runs.

With this victory, Delhi Capitals Women sealed the top spot in the league and secured a direct entry to the finals. Their clinical performance highlighted their potential as strong contenders for the WPL title this season. As the league phase concludes, all eyes are now set on the knockout game between Mumbai Indians and RCB, with both teams eager to join Delhi Capitals in the race for the championship.
