The battle for the playoffs heats up as current table-topper Delhi Capitals take on an in-form Gujarat Giants in match no-17 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). The match is scheduled to start on Friday evening and will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.
Team Form
Up until now, Delhi Capitals have been head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the WPL 2025 season. They have picked up from where they left off last season when they were beaten in the final by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. So far, they have won five out of seven league games heading into this game, sitting at the top. In fact, they can qualify for the final with a win in this game. So the stakes are high, even for DC, who are through to the playoffs, but avoiding the extra game should be their priority.
Gujarat Giants need at least one win from their remaining two games to qualify to the playoffs. At the moment, they are second on the table, but the shape of the table is likely to change as Mumbai Indians are set to take on UP Warriorz in the match on Thursday. So there’s every chance that GG could drop out of top two by the time this game kicks-off.
