Delhi Capitals face Gujarat Giants in a high-stakes Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 encounter on Tuesday, with both teams eyeing a crucial win to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage. The match is being played in Vadodara and carries significant implications for the mid-table standings.

Both Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants enter the contest level on six points from six matches. However, Delhi Capitals currently hold an advantage due to a superior Net Run Rate (NRR), making the outcome of this match particularly important for Gujarat, who are looking to close the gap and move ahead in the points table.

The two sides are familiar rivals this season. In their previous meeting, Gujarat Giants edged past Delhi Capitals in a thrilling high-scoring contest, thanks largely to an outstanding all-round performance by Sophie Devine. That narrow victory remains fresh in memory and adds an extra layer of intensity to the rematch.
