Pitch Report

67 meters down, 69 meters over extra cover is the longest. Behind square on the legside is the shortest boundary with 47 meters. The pitch looks fantastic. The grass is only to hold the pitch together. There will be nice bounce and carry. It will be nice and bouncy for the pacer, with spinners also getting some purchase tonight. Right-handers will have 51 meters to the legside, they might go with the left-hand-right-hand combination. Teams will have someone hit the shorter boundary on all occasions. Will have a fair bit of running to do tonight if you hit towards the longer boundaries. GG's pace bowlers will have to bowl on a length and they will have things going their way

Commentary

A dominant performance from Delhi Capitals as they cruise to a comfortable win, climbing to the top of the table in style. Gujarat Giants will need to regroup quickly after this tough loss.

That's all from us tonight! This is Meeth Agrawal and Lavil Saldanha, signing off. See you next time!

Jess Jonassen (Player of the Match): Yeah, I loved it. Bit surprised with the opportunity. Bit of a luck early in the innings but happy to be there till the end. We sort of thought with the spinners that the ball held a bit towards the end. With the seamers, it was swinging early so tried to play as straight as possible. I mean, it's huge for my confidence. I have enjoyed my batting and really pleased to have done the job tonight. It was nice to be able to come off and pleased to have the trust of captain and the coach. It's amazing (On batting with Shafali). The way our seamers came back today and bowled really well upfront. Marizanne Kapp is world class and she showed that again. Titas Sadhu came in for her first game this season and took a big wicket also. It's nice to be able to have a lot of different options. Meg will say sometimes too many options, but it's nice to know that in any certain situation, we have someone to put their hand up and do the job for the team

Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals Women captain): Yeah, it was a little bit less stressful as compared to our other wins. The bowlers set it up pretty nicely. Happy with the win. Kappy and Shikha did a great job at the start to take early wickets. It made things easier throughout. It was a good contest between bat and ball. There was a little in it for the bowlers. If you hit a good length, there was a bit of nibble and swing. Batters also managed to get in and dominate, but bowlers also had it if they hit the right areas. It's about improving each game and tightening up the areas that we didn't do yet. In a tournament like this, you should have momentu,m and once you get on a roll, it makes a big difference. It's pretty close competition at the table, but we need to keep winning. Certainly nice to turn things around tonight.

Shafali Verma (Delhi Capitals): It was a bit tough in the first three overs of the second innings. It was holding up and shaping a bit. My thought was to stay in the middle till the end, really happy with the knock but disappointed with not getting the 50. We don't talk about chasing the total, we try to chase what is in our range and we'll take time and play. As an individual, we aim at building an innings and winning by 10 wickets. Kappie and Shikha tell us if there is any movement and that helps us. The bowlers were getting some assistance and they told us to play easy. If it is a small boundary, I have to hit it (laughs)

Ashleigh Gardner (captain, Gujarat Giants): If you look at their bowling line up, they had four international quicks. It was very difficult to come back from after losing early wickets in the powerplay. We didn't do well with the bat but Dottin and Bharathi batted well. I think we know the potential they have and haven't had much opportunity. It comes as the expense of us losing too many wickets but it was good to see them out in the middle and have a fifty-run partnership. Surprised to see Jonno walk out to bat early. Kashvee bowled well, she showed her class and is very excited. There is nothing to be concerned about as such, we have lost too many wickets in the powerplay and it makes your job hard. The powerplay is tough to bat and as international we need to take things on and take it through middle overs and death. If we look at what we did against RCB in the first game, there was a lot of things we did right and we'll learn from that one

[22:34 IST]: Delhi Capitals Women win by 6 wickets.

Jess Jonassen - 61* (32) & 1/24 | Marizanne Kapp - 2/17
Bharti Fulmali - 40* (29) | Kashvee Gautam - 2/26

A clinical chase from Delhi Capitals Women as they hunt down the target in just 15.1 overs! Not only do they climb to the top of the table with six points, but their Net Run Rate also gets a massive boost. A complete all-round performance from DC, outclassing Gujarat Giants in every department.

After an early hiccup with Meg Lanning falling cheaply, Shafali Verma took charge with her aggressive stroke play. She didn’t let the pressure build, counterattacking right from the start. But the real star of the chase was Jess Jonassen, who justified the management’s decision to promote her to No.3. She played with intent, smashing her maiden WPL fifty and ensuring DC made light work of the chase.

The Capitals did lose a couple of wickets towards the end, but by then, the game was well out of Gujarat Giants’ reach. The foundation laid by Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen ensured there were no real hiccups in the chase. GG fought till the end, but it was simply too late to make a difference.

Earlier in the game, DC’s bowlers made full use of the conditions. Marizanne Kapp and Shikha Pandey rattled GG’s top order with some lethal swing bowling, reducing them to 60/6. Despite a fighting knock from Bharti Fulmali, who powered GG to 127/9, the total was never enough against a strong DC batting lineup.

A dominant win for DC, while GG will have to regroup quickly and address their batting woes.

Presentations to follow...

15.1 Priya Mishra to Marizanne Kapp, FOUR! DC WIN! Back of a length delivery outside the off stump, Kapp gets onto her backfoot and pushes that one towards the gap between extra cover and mid-off as the ball races away to the fence for a boundary to end the chase. Delhi Capitals win by six wickets and are the new table toppers of WPL 2025!

Priya Mishra [1.0-0-14-0] comes back into the attack

Just a run away from a convincing win.

14.6 Tanuja Kanwar to Jess Jonassen, length delivery outside the off stump. Jonassen plays it towards point for a dot ball to end the over. Anticlimactic that, with DC needing only a run off 30 deliveries

14.5 Tanuja Kanwar to Jess Jonassen, FOUR! SCORES LEVEL! Length delivery outside the off stump, Jonassen hits that one over the top and sends it one bounce, over the fence for a boundary

14.4 Tanuja Kanwar to Marizanne Kapp, length delivery outside the off stump. Kapp looked to push it towards covers but gets a leading edge towards backward point for a single

14.3 Tanuja Kanwar to Marizanne Kapp, length delivery outside the off stump. Played towards backward point, no run

14.2 Tanuja Kanwar to Marizanne Kapp, SHELLED! Full and on the off stump, Kapp goes for a slog sweep but gets it off the leading edge. Kashvee circles under that one and has the ball in her palms but it pops out. They take a brace

14.1 Tanuja Kanwar to Marizanne Kapp, full and outside the off stump. Kapp knocks it back to the bowler, no run

A couple of quick wickets for the Giants but too late in the game. The Capitals are just a couple of hits away from an easy win.
