Live GG vs DC WPL 2026 Eliminator Live cricket score: Delhi Capitals on top as Giants lose four in Vadodara

Giants lose another. Minnu Mani offered the bait, and Kanika falls to it. This was flighted outside off and spun away from the left-hander Kanika, who came down the track to hoick it but missed out as Lee stumps her from behind. Strategic time-out has been taken. GG 59/4 after 8.4.

These are some nervy times for the Giants as they have lost their three wickets inside the powerplay. DC have brought off-spin from both ends with Mooney and Kanika Ahuja both being left-handers. GG are at 57/3 after 8 overs and look to recover from their hiccups.

What a catch that was from Chinelle Henry. Nandani Sharma strikes on her first ball of the match. Anushka flicked this to the right of long-on as Henry moved to her right and took a brilliant diving catch. Anddd, another one goes. Nandani removes the GG captain, Gardner caught at slips. Giants had a brilliant over in the previous one as Mooney and Anushka had hit 17 off the Kapp over. 

The DC bowlers have kept the lid on the Giants' batters here at the start of the innings. Henry has removed Sophie Devine while Mooney and Anushka have not found a boundary so far. GG 11/1 after 3.

Chinelle Henry strikes in her first over as Sophie Deviner has been dismissed. This was a back of a length ball as Devine had a poke at it. It raced to the right of the keeper, Lizelle Lee, who made a stretch and grabbed a sharp one. GG lose their big wicket here.

Sophie Devine gets a four off an edge on the third ball of the first over. The edge flew to the four in between the keeper and the slip. Six from the first over for GG.

And here are the GG openers - Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine - in the middle as they look for a strong start. Devine has played a key role with the bat in the last few outings and would look to do the same here. Marizanne Kapp has the new ball in her hand.

DC have been hot and cold this tournament ever since changing their captain. Their bowling has been found wanting but the Capitals have found ways to win. Needing a victory in their last league stage clash against UPW, they chased a middling target to make their way into the knockouts.

The Giants won their last three matches in a row to make their entry into the playoffs. They had started the tournament with two wins, followed by three losses before their hattrick of victories. GG will look to make it to their first ever final.

"Well, this is pitch number 5. This is probably the first game that will be played this season on this wicket. It's a fresh wicket. There are cracks. It's pretty wide and long. That means the wicket is dry underneath. But there will be good bounce. There are patches where it is a little more greener. That's where if you get the ball to be pitched, it will skid through. But otherwise, it's a good wicket to bat. It is tempting when you know as a batter that the boundaries on the square are shorter than the straight boundaries. The batters will be tempted to play square of the wicket. But unless it is pitched outside the stump line, I think it is better to access more in front to get value for your shots," Mithali Raj said in the pitch report.

"We would like to bowl first. It looks like a fresh surface. Any target feels chaseable, and with the dew coming in, the pitch should get a little better under lights. Just control the controllables is the message to the team. Today is a new game, if any game matters the most it is tonight. So want to win. Same team," DC skipper Rodrigues said at the toss.

"We were going to bat and just had a feeling they might want to bowl and it worked out well. We want to be aggressive with the bat and take it on the powerplay. Nothing changes for us tonight. Looks very similar to the last couple of wickets. Assess conditions quickly and adapt on the run. Same team as the last time," Giants captain Gardner said at the toss.

DC have not made any changes to their team for the Eliminator. GG are also going in with the same team. 

DC's luck with the toss continues. They have won eight of their nine tosses. DC have won the toss today too, and they have opted to bowl first, as expected.

We are moments away from the toss. Here is some stat for you: Gujarat Giants have won all of their matches batting first and Delhi have bagged all of their games while chasing.

Delhi Capitals are serial finalists, having ended as runners-up in all the previous three editions of the tournament. They have a new captain in Jemimah Rodrigues this season after the franchise released Meg Lanning. The Capitals are playing an Eliminator for the first time. Giants are looking to make the final for the first time. They have played the Eliminator last year but have not played a final, which they will now look to do this time around.
