Mumbai, March 16 – Gujarat Giants secured a thrilling five-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in a nail-biting Women’s Premier League (WPL 2024) match on Friday. The match remained in the balance until the final ball, swinging between potential Delhi and Gujarat victories.
Harleen Deol led Gujarat’s charge with a match-winning unbeaten 70, studded with nine fours and a six. Deandra Dottin provided crucial late-stage acceleration, though her explosive 24-run cameo was followed by a momentary wobble.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals, batting first after losing the toss, posted a challenging 177/?. Meg Lanning top-scored with a 92-run knock (15 fours, 1 six), falling just short of a century. She and Shafali Verma (40) put on an 83-run opening partnership. Megha Singh (3/35) and Deandra Dottin (2/37) were the most successful bowlers for Gujarat.
This win catapults Gujarat Giants to second place in the WPL points table. The match showcased a captivating display of high-octane cricket and thrilling finishes, reinforcing the WPL’s reputation for exciting contests.
