Ashleigh Gardner's Gujarat Giants are all set to lock horns with Jemimah Rodrigues' Delhi Capitals in the Women's Premier League 2026 Eliminator match for a spot in the finale of the on-going edition.
The match will be taking place at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium from 7:30PM (IST) onwards. The winner of this fixture will be facing this season's table toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the finale on February 5.
The Delhi Capitals reached the play-off match after a thrilling last-gasp victory over UP Warriorz in the final league game of the season.
DC needed a win to stay alive and knock out reigning champions Mumbai Indians and that's what exactly they did as well.
Delhi relied on Marizanne Kapp’s clinical bowling (3/30) to restrict UP to 122 and despite a middle-order collapse that saw them slip from 84/1 to 101/5, captain Jemimah Rodrigues displayed immense composure, scoring 34 off 18 balls to seal the chase.
The Gujarat Giants qualified with a statement performance, beating the reigning champions in their final league match.
After eight consecutive losses to MI prior to that game, the Giants posted a competitive 167/4, thanks to an explosive 71-run stand between Ashleigh Gardner (46) and Georgia Wareham (44).
Their bowlers then held their nerves against a valiant 82 from Harmanpreet Kaur, winning by 11 runs to punch their ticket to the Eliminator. Recovering from an early three-match losing streak, the Giants finished second in the standings with 10 points.
