Gujarat Giants: Beth Mooney (wk), Sophie Devine, Anushka Sharma, Ash Gardner (c), Georgia Wareham, Bharti Fulmali, Kanika Ahuja, Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwer, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Renuka Singh

Delhi Capitals: Lizelle Lee (wk), Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues (c), Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, Niki Prasad, Sneh Rana, Minnu Mani, Nandani Sharma, Shree Charani

Gujarat Giants' experienced duo of Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine strides out to open the batting and another veteran international, Marizanne Kapp takes the new ball for Delhi Capitals. Devine throws the kitchen sink at a wide delivery to get an edge over slip and a boundary. Six runs off the first over.

GG: 6/0 (1)

Delhi are holding on to their catches and it's making all the difference! Lizelle Lee grabs a sharp chance behind the wicket to send Sophie Devine on her way. Chinelle Henry then takes a tumbling grab and Anushka Sharma has to depart, before Sneh Rana pouches Ashleigh Gardner's outside edge at slip. Nandani Sharma takes two in two and though she does not get another hat-trick, she certainly helps put the Capitals in a decent position after the powerplay.

DC: 48/3 (6)

Minnu Mani has Kanika Ahuja (6) stumped by a long distance, and the Giants lose their fourth wicket. Delhi now firmly in the driver's seat, having dislodged the heart of Gujarat's batting and also stemmed the run flow nicely. The onus is on the experienced Beth Mooney to revive GG from this quagmire.

GG: 71/4 (11)

Gujarat build the partnership they sorely needed, as Georgia Wareham joins forces with Mooney to resurrect the innings. But the Capitals bounce back with another double blow, this time from Chinelle Henry. She first gets rid of Wareham for 35 and then catches Bharti Fulmali off her own bowling for a second-ball duck.

GG: 127/6 (17)

Beth Mooney finishes with a bang! The Gujarat opener carries her bat to stay unbeaten on 62 and power her side to a 168-run total. Chasing this down in a pressure match won't be easy; let's see how the star-studded Capitals batting responds.

GG: 168/7 (20)

Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma, Delhi Capitals' opening pair that has not been firing as it can in the last few games, walks out to commence the 169-run chase. Renuka Singh Thakur takes the new ball as usual for the Giants, and though an outside edge off Lee's bat flies to the boundary, it's a good over otherwise from the India swing bowler.

DC: 6/0 (1)

What a time to get their opening partnership going again! Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma take the Giants' bowling to the cleaners in the powerplay, plundering 75 runs from it. That includes a 21-run over from Renuka Singh Thakur and also wipes out a substantial chunk from the target. The required run rate has fallen below seven and it is the Capitals' game to lose now.

DC: 75/0 (6)

Gujarat Giants have pulled things back admirably, dismissing both, Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma to create an opening. The Capitals are still favourites, however, and captain Jemimah Rodrigues, the reliable Laura Wolvaardt are just the batters they would want in the middle to take them home.

DC: 112/2 (11)

The Capitals are in the final yet again! For the fourth season running, Delhi book a place in the title round, hoping to get over the line finally this time. They do it in style too, with Marizanne Kapp driving royally down the ground to seal victory in 15.4 overs. The Giants' dream of a maiden final stands dashed, meanwhile.
