In the Eliminator match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026, Gujarat Giants (GG) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) tonight, February 3, at 7:30 PM, at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara.
Gujarat Giants approach the Eliminator with confidence and enthusiasm. The Giants finished second following a statement win against defending champions Mumbai Indians, and they have depended largely on a core group of individuals, most notably Sophie Devine, whose calmness in pressure chases proved crucial against DC earlier in the league. While this dependence has produced rewards, it also poses a risk if early wickets fall or important players are neutralised. However, with previous success at the stadium and confidence high following recent victories, the Giants will rely on their match-winners to emerge again as they strive for a first WPL final.
On the contrary, Delhi Capitals come into the Eliminator with a mixed league-stage story. They stumbled twice in run chases against Gujarat Giants, unable to close off tight finishes against Sophie Devine’s poise under pressure. Due to these mistakes, the Jemimah Rodrigues-led side had to wait until the last day of the league season to secure qualification. Aside from those stutters, the Capitals have demonstrated depth and versatility, with contributions distributed across their batting and bowling lineups at various periods of the competition. Their current run at the stadium, three wins in the previous four matches, has also helped them re-establish a reliable combination, allowing them to peak at the ideal time as they seek a fourth consecutive WPL title.
Head-to-Head:
Both teams have faced each other eight times to date, with both winning four each.
