Delhi Capitals Women Clinch a Comprehensive Victory Over Gujarat Giants Wome

Delhi Capitals Women vs Gujarat Giants Women, 10th Match – A Thrilling Contest in WPL 2025

In an exciting contest today, Delhi Capitals Women (DCW) defeated Gujarat Giants Women (GGTW) by 6 wickets in the 10th match of the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025. This well-fought victory has propelled DCW to the top of the points table.

GGTW's Struggle with the Bat

Gujarat Giants Women, batting first, struggled on a tricky green pitch. The seamers from Delhi were in full control as they reduced Gujarat to a poor 20/4 in just 5 overs. With big names like Gardner and Dottin falling cheaply, it looked like a steep climb for the Giants. Despite a valiant effort from Bharti Fulmali, who scored a 29-ball 40, Gujarat could only manage to post 127/9 in their 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals Women: Chasing Down with Ease

In response, Delhi lost their captain, Meg Lanning, early, but Jess Jonassen's promotion to number three turned out to be a masterstroke. Jonassen, along with Shafali Verma, played aggressively and put the chase on track. The duo added a crucial 74-run partnership, and Jonassen, in particular, was in scintillating form, scoring a blistering 26-ball half-century. DCW chased down the target comfortably with 4.5 overs to spare.

Jonassen’s performance was truly outstanding, earning her the Player of the Match award. Her calm and composed approach at the crease proved pivotal in the team's success.

Key Moments of the Match:

• GGTW’s early collapse: Gujarat Giants’ top order crumbled under pressure from Delhi’s seamers, struggling to find their rhythm.
• Bharti Fulmali’s fighting knock: Fulmali’s 40 off 29 balls was a ray of hope for the Giants, but it wasn’t enough.
• Jonassen's brilliance: Jess Jonassen’s aggressive 50 and her unbeaten knock took Delhi home with ease.
• Seamers shine: Delhi's bowlers, especially Marizanne Kapp and Shikha Pandey, were exceptional at the start, taking early wickets and keeping the pressure on.

Player of the Match – Jess Jonassen:

Jonassen's performance was truly memorable. She expressed her gratitude after the match, saying, "I loved it. Bit surprised by the opportunity, but happy to take it. I had a bit of luck early but that’s part of the T20 game. I'm happy to be there at the end when Kappy hit the winning runs."

What’s Next?

Delhi Capitals Women, now at the top of the points table, will look to build on this momentum as they continue their march through the group stage. Gujarat Giants Women, on the other hand, will need to regroup and bounce back from this defeat as they sit at the bottom of the table.
