DC Women Vs GG Women Head-To-Head: Key Players & Who Has The Upper Hand?

Gujarat Giants (GG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) kicked off their Women’s Premier League campaigns from very different starting points and came away from their opening games with contrasting results and lessons.

Ahead of their opening game, the Gujarat Giants came under scrutiny over team balance. Boasting multiple high-profile overseas stars alongside a team of young, uncapped Indian players, doubts emerged about whether the franchise could match the experience and depth of UP

Warriorz.

GG answered those doubts. Putting in a disciplined and confident all-round performance, they registered a hard-fought ten-run win. Their ability to stay composed under pressure stood out, with both the batting and bowling units contributing at key moments.

Chasing a steep

target of 196, DC’s innings unravelled early. The top order collapsed within the powerplay, as Lizelle Lee, Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp were all dismissed inside the first seven overs, ending the chase.

The two teams have played each other six times across the last three editions of the WPL. In an even rivalry, the Capitals have triumphed Giants four times, faltering just twice.

GG Women vs UPW Women Key Players To Watch Out For

Ashleigh Gardner: She enjoyed the vote of confidence of the management and ownership group due to an encouraging 2025. The Australian finished as her team’s highest run-getter with 243 runs at a strike-rate of 164.18, while also chipping in with 8 wickets. She will once again be key to Gujarat’s chances.

Kashvee Gautam: The young Indian seamer emerged as the Giants’ best bowler of the WPL 2025, with 11 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.45. Gujarat will once again rely on the 22-year-old to deliver the goods in crucial phases.

Lizelle Lee: Lizelle Lee came into the WPL on the back of a prolific WBBL season, where she helped Hobart Hurricanes win their maiden title. Taking over the opener’s role at DC from Meg Lanning, she impressed with her sharp wicketkeeping but had a quiet outing with the bat, scoring 10. Alongside Shafali Verma, DC will hope the explosive opening pair clicks soon.

Which Team Has The Upper Hand?

Delhi Capitals Women appear to be struggling with their team combination, while Gujarat Giants Women look more settled and balanced. Based on current form and squad stability, the Gujarat Giants are favourites to win this match.
