GG vs DC, WPL 2026 Eliminator: Player Battles

Lizelle Lee vs Kashvee Gautam 

Lizelle Lee is Delhi Capitals' second-leading run-scorer of the season with 240 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 136.36, and she likes to dominate the bowlers early in the innings. Kashvee Gautam, on the other hand, has been a successful powerplay bowler for Ash Gardner with 6 wickets in 16 overs, only 1 behind Marizanne Kapp.

The duo is set to meet again at the start of the innings, and the one who fares better will give an early advantage to their team.

Ashleigh Gardner vs Shree Charani

The Giants skipper, Ash Gardner, has been in fine form throughout the season, scoring 244 runs at a strike rate of 142.69, converting starts to put GG in a strong position. Only Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt have more runs than her outside the powerplay this season.

Left-arm orthodox bowler, Shree Charani, is DC's joint-highest wicket-taker, and onus will be on her to stem the run-flow off Gardner's bat and dismiss her in the middle overs to prevent GG from scoring big.

Bharti Fulmali vs Nandani Sharma

The dangerous lower-middle order batter Bharti Fulmali has a strike rate of 150.63 this season, scoring 8 towering sixes in the second half of the innings to put the death bowlers under pressure. Similarly, Nandani Sharma has picked 14 wickets this season (joint-third), out of which 11 have come in overs 15-20. This battle at the end of the GG innings could dictate the result.

Both teams are coming into the Eliminator in a similar form in the past five matches. However, the GG campaign has looked much smoother in terms of how Gardner has handled her team. While DC made it to this stage, they have been in a topsy-turvy rhythm throughout the league stage. Hence, it looks like the Gujarat Giants are all set to feature in their first WPL final.
