Giants have move to the second position in the points table with this win
RCB are at the top spot and have already qualified for the play-offs
Gujarat Giants defeat Delhi Capitals by 3 runs in a last-over thriller in match 17 of the Women's Premier League at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Sophie Devine turned out to be the bulwark for Gujarat Giants, defending 9 runs in the last over against Nikki Prasad and Sneh Rana, who were going all guns blazing before the last over.
Delhi were in a precarious position at 100/6 in 14.3 overs in a run chase of 175, when Prasad and Rana forged a 70-run stand for DC for the 7th wicket in just 31 balls taking them to a winning position before Devine turned things with her match-winning over.
Earlier, Gujarat Giants scraped to 174 in the first innings on the back of skipper Beth Mooney's half-century, anchoring her team to a decent first innings total. She was well complemented by youngster Anushka Sharma, who treated the fans with some majestic boundaries.
Gujarat Giants have now moved to the second spot in the points table with this win and have bolstered their chances of finishing in the top two for the play-offs.
