Pre-Match Analysis:
Delhi Capitals are in a hot streak and have become the first team in the WPL history to qualify for the Playoffs for the 3rd team in a row. The Bengaluru leg turned out to be a happy place for the two-time runners-up, who won 3 of their last 4 matches. Overall, with 5 wins and 2 losses, they are well positioned at the top spot with 10 points. Head Coach Jonathan Batty stated that we had back-to-back games to finish off the Bengaluru Phase, and we got a much-needed break before the final league encounter. He further added, Players’ workload is something that we have to take care of and focus on not getting injured.
Gujarat Giants got a major uplift following their back-to-back thumping wins over the UP Warriorz and RCB. From here on, they can sense, their first ever Playoff berth for that, they must their remaining 2 matches. With 6 points in their account, they have the upper hand over RCB and UP Warriorz, against whom they battle for the Playoff spot. They began the Lucknow phase with a bang, with a commanding 81-run victory over the hosts UP Warriorz. Beth Mooney’s impressive 96* and combined bowling efforts ensured their 3rd win overall in the WPL 2025. They need to be well aware of their record against Delhi, with only one win in 5 meetings.
