WPL 2026: DC vs GG - Vadodara pitch report and Kotambi Stadium key stats

Match 17 of the Women’s Premier League 2026 promises intense drama as Delhi Capitals face Gujarat Giants at Vadodara’s Kotambi Stadium. With both teams level on three wins apiece from six matches, the outcome of this contest could significantly tilt the playoff equation.

 

Delhi Capitals enter the match brimming with confidence following a remarkable mid-season revival. After stumbling early, Jemimah Rodrigues’ side has stitched together back-to-back wins to re-establish themselves as genuine playoff contenders. The opening pair of Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee has provided explosive starts, setting the tone for the innings, while Laura Wolvaardt’s return to form has added much-needed stability. DC’s bowling attack looks equally formidable, with Marizanne Kapp and Nandi Sharma consistently striking with the new ball and maintaining tight lines. The resurgence of spinners Shree Harani and Minnu Mani further adds balance to the side.

 

 

Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, have experienced a season of fluctuating fortunes. After winning their opening games, consistency deserted them before a timely victory against UP Warriorz steadied the ship. Although GG defeated Delhi earlier this season, they face a tough challenge tonight, as no team has managed a league double over DC in WPL history.
