Devine’s Powerplay Carnage Lifts Giants To 209

Asked to bat first, Gujarat Giants were propelled by a breathtaking innings from Sophie Devine, who fell just short of a maiden WPL century. The New Zealand all-rounder smashed 95 off 42 balls, which included seven fours and eight sixes.

Devine thrashed Sneh Rana for 32 runs in a single over in the powerplay, marking the most expensive over in WPL history.

After Beth Mooney departed for 19, Devine found a reliable partner in Ashleigh Gardner, who played a blistering knock of 49 off 26 balls. While wickets fell at the other end, Devine continued to dictate the tempo, steering the Giants to 209.

Despite the onslaught, Delhi Capitals clawed their way back through an outstanding spell from Nandini Sharma, who finished with 5/33. This included a hat-trick in the final over, preventing the Giants from pushing the total even higher. Support came from Shree Charani and Chinelle Henry, who picked up two wickets apiece.

Lee, Wolvaardt Power Capitals’ Chase
