**Lucknow, India** – The Gujarat Giants secured a thrilling 5-wicket victory over the Delhi Capitals today at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, ending Delhi’s three-match winning streak. Delhi, who set a challenging 178-run target, saw Meg Lanning fall just short of a century (92 runs).
Gujarat’s chase was spearheaded by Harleen Deol’s impressive 70 runs off 49 balls (including 9 fours and a six) and Beth Mooney’s quickfire 44 (35 balls, 6 fours). Despite a strong start, Delhi’s Shefali Verma failed to replicate her usual explosive batting, managing only 40 runs.
The victory propelled Gujarat to their second consecutive win, bringing their overall wins to 3 out of 6 matches. Delhi, despite the loss, remain at the top of the points table with 5 wins from 7 matches and have already secured a playoff spot. This was their final league match. Interestingly, a majority of the spectators at the Ekana Stadium were supporting Delhi Capitals. Gujarat Giants had previously defeated UP Warriorz at the same venue in their last match.
