DC vs GG LIVE HIGHLIGHTS WPL 2026: Sophie Devine saves the day as GG beat DC by 4 runs
The turning point came when Sophie Devine was entrusted with bowling the final over and defended 7 runs in a thrilling 6 balls to end the tie in their favour.
Gujarat giants
In an exhilarating finish to a high-stakes contest, the Gujarat Giants held their nerve to defeat the Delhi Capitals by just 4 runs in a last-ball thriller. The Giants, who posted a formidable total earlier in the game, were given a tough chase by Delhi, but it was Sophie Devine who emerged as the heroine, defending 6 runs in the final over to seal the victory.
The game seemed to be slipping away from the Giants after a stunning 41 runs came off the 18th and 19th overs. Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues were on fire, with Wolvaardt smashing 76 off 36 balls, including a crucial six and four in the death overs. Rodrigues also contributed with 15 off 8 balls, and the Capitals seemed well in control. However, the turning point came when Devine was entrusted with bowling the final over. Despite the mounting pressure, she kept her calm and managed to defend the required 6 runs, including a crucial boundary-saving delivery to keep the Capitals at bay.
Earlier in the match, Lizelle Lee set the tone for the Capitals, playing an explosive knock to keep the chase on track. Despite the asking rate climbing, Lee continued to keep the Giants under pressure with her aggressive strokeplay. Wolvaardt, though slow to start, made up for it with a series of powerful shots later in her innings.
While the Giants celebrated a famous win, the Capitals were left heartbroken, having thrown away a golden opportunity with their miscalculation in the final moments. Despite their brave efforts, they fell short by a mere 4 runs, with the Giants securing a much-needed victory in a nail-biting finish.
