WPL 2026: Delhi vs Gujarat preview, toss timings, live streaming

The winner of today's game between DC and GG will almost confirm their place in the playoffs with four wins to their name

One of the most crucial matches of the Women’s Premier League 2026 is taking place today at Vadodara’s Kotambi Stadium, with Delhi Capitals (DC) taking on Gujarat Giants (GG) in match 17 of the season. Both teams have won three of the six matches they have played so far, which means whoever wins tonight will have one foot in the playoffs. Delhi Capitals skipper Jemimah Rodrigues won the coin flip of the match and invited Gujarat Giants to bat first.

DC team news

After a disappointing start to the season, losing three of their first four games, Jemimah Rodrigues-led Delhi have made a miraculous comeback, winning two back-to-back games and putting their name in the hat as serious contenders for the playoffs. 

 

 

Openers Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee are scoring runs at a brisk pace, and with Laura Wolvaardt and skipper Jemimah back in form, DC’s batting looks top-notch. In bowling, Nandni Sharma and Marizanne Kapp are leading the pace department with serious form, taking wickets and restricting runs at the same time. Spinners Shree Charani and Minnu Mani have also regained form in the last match, making DC favourites to secure yet another playoff spot in WPL 2026.

GG team news

It has so far been a roller-coaster season for Gujarat Giants. They started with two wins but then lost three games in a row before finally securing their third win in their last game against UP Warriorz. They have a good side with batters and bowlers all in good form, the only issue for them being consistency. They have beaten Delhi Capitals in their first encounter this season, but they will have to make history if they wish to beat DC again, as so far no team has been able to complete a season double against Delhi Capitals in the group stages of the WPL.
