In the last match of the league stage in WPL 2024, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Giants by 7 wickets. With this victory, Delhi has directly made its place in the final of the tournament. Capitals achieved the target of 127 runs given by Gujarat thanks to Shefali Verma’s brilliant 71 runs. Shefali was adjudged Player of the Match for her explosive innings.

Gujarat batsmen failed again

Gujarat Giants, batting first in the last match of the league stage, scored 126 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. Gujarat, who came to bat after winning the toss, did not have a good start and their top order faltered badly in the powerplay itself. Marijne Kapp sent Beth Mooney to the pavilion without opening the account. After this, Hemlata (4) and Laura (7) also got out cheaply.

After the top order faltered, even the middle order batsmen could not do anything special. Phoebe Litchfield (21) and Gardner (12) once again failed to play big innings after getting a good start. However, Bharti Fulmali along with Katherine Bryce took the team to a respectable score.

Bharti played an inning of 42 runs in 36 balls, which included 7 fours. Whereas Catherine scored 28 unbeaten runs. For Delhi, Marijn Kapp, Shikha Pandey and Meenu Mani took 2 wickets each, while Jess Jonassen got 1 wicket.

Shefali Verma’s explosive batting

Chasing the target of 127 runs, Delhi achieved the target without taking any risk by losing 3 wickets in 13.1 overs. After the early dismissals of Meg Lanning (18) and Alice Capsey (0), Shefali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues took over the innings.

Shefali once again looked in rhythm. He batted brilliantly and scored a brilliant half-century. It seemed that she would return after leading the team to victory, but that could not happen. She was out after scoring 71 runs in 37 balls, which included 7 fours and 5 sixes. Jemima contributed 38 unbeaten runs.

Stroll in park for DC as finalists finish league stage dominantly. GG embraces wooden spoon again. Bharti & Kathryn helped GG put 129 on board. Shafali’s turn to bat opposition out & she did it in style. Hope last year’s finalists dont mess up last match like last time#WPL2024
