WPL 2026: Devine Holds Her Nerve as Giants Edge Capitals

Sophie Devine produced a nerveless final over to defend nine runs and seal a dramatic three-run win for Gujarat Giants over Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2026 at Vadodara.

Devine conceded just four runs and dismissed Sneh Rana before Niki Prasad’s last-ball heave found a fielder, sparking Giants’ celebrations. Earlier, Beth Mooney’s composed 58 and Anushka Sharma’s 39 lifted Gujarat to 174 for nine, despite N. Shree Charani’s career-best 4 for 31.

Delhi’s chase wavered before a late Rana–Prasad stand revived hopes, but Devine’s death-over brilliance ensured Gujarat completed a season double and climbed to second on the points table.
