With this exceptional bowling unit, Gujarat didn't have much room. Delhi Capitals grabbed the GG innings from the root and picked up early wickets. Gujarat were 4 wickets down inside the powerplay. Titas Sadhu got a big wicket of Ash Gardner for cheap. Deandra Dottin stood at one end and tried his best to regain the momentum for GG but not for too long.
Bharti Fulmali played some stylish shots and added valuable 40 runs towards the end and this put Gujarat Giants to 127. It wasn't going to be a tough one for Delhi Capitals with that long and attacking batting lineup. Lanning went back early but Shafali played patiently at the start.
Jess Jonassen was promoted to number 3 today and what an innings she had. She pounded over all the bowlers one by one and posted 61 runs in the winning cause.
Shafali Verma played a crucial knock of 44 runs off 27 balls and Marizanne Kapp finished the game with a four. It didn't end as an easy chase but Delhi Capitals made it through with 29 balls left.
