Gerogia wareham

The West Indies: Delhi Capitals’ bowlers kept the hosts in check, while wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney’s sluggish yet resilient knock and Gerogia Wareham and Kashvee Gautam’s efforts with the willow helped the Gujarat Giants get to a competitive total of 168/7 when the two sides squared off in the crucial and penultimate contest of the Women’s Premier League 2026, the Eliminator, here at the BCA Stadium (Kotambi).

Marizanne Kapp conceded six runs in the opening over as Sophie Devine edged a four over the slip cordon, with Gujarat moving to 6/0 after a cautious start. However, Chinelle Henry struck early for Delhi, removing Devine for six as she edged an outswinger to Lizelle Lee at slip, leaving Gujarat one down in the second over.

No. 3 batter Anushka Sharma and Mooney then showed tremendous confidence against Henry and Kapp and scored 29 runs off the next three overs, but Nandni Sharma’s double strike in the final over of the powerplay led to Anushka and skipper Ashleigh Gardner’s exit off consecutive deliveries as GG reached 48/3 in the first six overs.
