Delhi Capitals bowlers Shikha Pandey and Marizanne Kapp picked two wickets each in the first 05 overs and troubled them as much as they could.
Shikha Pandey bagged the wickets of Harleen Doel (5) and Phoebe Litchfield (0) in the fourth over while Marizanne Kapp picked the wickets of Beth Mooney (10) and Kashvee Gautam (0) in the fifth over of the match.
Gujarat lost four wickets for 20 runs with Ashleigh Gardner and Deandra Dottin at the crease. Dottin and Ash tried to pull out a partnership to revive the side from early dismissals.
But Titas Sadhu bagged the wicket of Ash for 3 runs further haunting Gujarat Giants. Bharti Fulmali joined Deandra Dottin for balancing the side in the scoreboard, but Annabel Sutherland bagged the wicket of Deandra Dottin for 26 runs.
After Dottin’s dismissal, Simran Shaikh and Meghna Singh lost their wickets for 5 and 0 in the match. By the end of 20 over, Gujarat Giants scored 127 runs for 9 wickets.

Delhi Capitals has two wins out of four matches while Gujarat has one win out of the three matches in the 2025 season. They both secured fourth and fifth place in the WPL 2025 points table.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Meg Lanning said, “Going to have a bowl. Seems to be the trend. It gives our bowlers a good chance to pick up early wickets upfront.”
“One change – Titas comes in for Reddy. We just think that’s the best XI for us to get the win tonight. Titas has been bowling extremely well in the nets. Always areas to improve – whether you win or lose.”
Meanwhile Gujarat Giants captain Ashleigh Garnder said, “Been a nice week to reset. We played three games very quickly, so we’ve had the chance to recharge the batteries and have a good block of training too.”
“We obviously know Bangalore’s going to be different to Vadodara. There’s a lot more bounce at this venue. It’s about being able to adapt quickly.”
“As a captain it’s about trying to stay calm and make the best decisions. Two changes – Phoebe Litchfield comes in and also Meghna Singh.”
