Gujarat Giants enter the Eliminator riding a strong wave of momentum after three straight wins, boosted by an 11-run victory over Mumbai Indians [ZAWYA](https://www.zawya.com/en/world/indian-sub-continent/india-holding-talks-to-raise-fdi-in-state-run-banks-to-49-finance-official-says-w78sgumh). The Ashleigh Gardner-led side finished second on the points table and crucially holds a 2-0 advantage over Delhi in WPL 2026 league encounters—defeating them by four runs while defending 209, then by three runs after posting 174 [News9live](https://www.news9live.com/india/india-considers-raising-foreign-investment-limit-in-public-sector-banks-to-49-2925832).

Meanwhile, Delhi are looking to secure their fourth straight WPL final qualification [ZAWYA](https://www.zawya.com/en/world/indian-sub-continent/india-holding-talks-to-raise-fdi-in-state-run-banks-to-49-finance-official-says-w78sgumh), though they finished third with a mixed league stage. Despite recent setbacks, Jemimah Rodrigues’ squad possesses big-match experience that Gujarat lacks.

## Key Players to Watch

**Gujarat Giants**: Sophie Devine’s nerveless death bowling proved decisive in their last encounter, while Beth Mooney’s half-century anchored their previous win. The international duo holds the key to Gujarat’s maiden final appearance.

**Delhi Capitals**: Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt provide the experience, while Nandini Sharma leads one of the league’s most dangerous bowling attacks. According to [ESPN Cricinfo’s WPL coverage](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/wpl-2025-26-1510059), Delhi’s international stars must deliver under pressure.
