Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Giants Cricket Match Update: Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl first against Gujarat Giants in a crucial Women’s Premier League 2026 clash at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Delhi Capitals have retained the same playing XI for today’s match, whereas Gujarat Giants have made a single change, bringing Georgia Wareham back into the side after Dani Wyatt was sidelined due to illness.
DC captain Jemimah Rodrigues said conditions would favour the second innings. "We like to bowl first. It just gets a little better in the second innings, dew isn't coming though. The pitch looks harder and should come onto the bat better. We just need to stick to our game plan and execute well. 100%, you learn so much from every game, you can't get everything correct, but the team makes me look better (as a captain). No changes for us today," she said.
"We were batting first anyway, so it didn't really matter. Having Sophie in the middle-order gives us a lot of firepower - a forced change tonight, Dani Wyatt is out with sickness, Georgia Wareham comes back and Sophie will go back to the top of the order. We just need to get the process right and the rest will take care of itself," Gujarat Giants Captain Ashleigh Gardner said.
Delhi Capitals sit third on the points table with six points from six matches, while Gujarat Giants also have six points but are lower on net run rate. DC have won three of their last four matches, including a seven-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru that ended RCB’s unbeaten run. GG, meanwhile, snapped a three-match losing streak with a 45-run win over UP Warriorz in their previous game.
