Though Delhi Capitals: Jess Jonassen hammered her maiden half-century as Delhi Capitals capitalized on superb bowling by their pacers to beat Gujarat Giants by six wickets in their Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 match at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday.
Chasing a below-par target of 128, Jonassen made the most of being promoted to bat at No.3 as she blazed to 61 not out off 32 balls while Shafali Verma struck a 27-ball 44 to help Delhi Capitals reach 131/4 in 15.1 overs to win the match with 29 balls to spare.
It was their bowlers who made the victory possible as Marizanne Kapp and Shikha Pandey both claimed a couple of wickets in an over each to land early blows while Annabel Sutherland bagged two in the middle overs as Gujarat Giants were restricted to a modest 127/9 despite a late charge by Bharti Fulmani, who struck 40 not out off 29 balls.
