Gujarat Giants finally exorcised their Mumbai Indians demons when it mattered most, edging past the defending champions by 11 runs in a tense Women’s Premier League clash at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Friday. The victory, their first over Mumbai in nine attempts, confirmed Gujarat’s place in the Eliminator and sealed second spot on the league table.

Chasing 168, Mumbai were never quite allowed to settle despite a valiant effort from Harmanpreet Kaur, who once again underlined her reputation as a big-match player. Walking in with her side wobbling at 37 for three, the MI skipper fought a lone battle, compiling an unbeaten 82 off 48 balls. However, with little support from the other end, the task eventually proved too steep.

Earlier in the evening, Gujarat built their innings around a decisive middle-order partnership. After Beth Mooney fell early and Sophie Devine was dismissed just as she looked set, the Giants found themselves needing stability. That came through captain Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham, who stitched together a crucial 71-run stand.

Gujarat finally conquer Mumbai in must-win WPL 2026 clash

Gardner played the aggressor’s role, striking 46 off 28 deliveries to keep the scoreboard moving, while Wareham timed her acceleration to perfection. Her unbeaten 44 off 26 balls ensured Gujarat finished strongly, lifting them to a competitive 167 for four on a surface that offered little margin for error while chasing.

Mumbai’s reply began on a scratchy note, with early wickets putting pressure on the middle order. Amelia Kerr briefly supported Harmanpreet in a 45-run stand, but her dismissal midway through the chase tilted the balance firmly in Gujarat’s favour. Devine and Wareham led the bowling effort with two wickets apiece, while the Giants held their nerve in the closing overs to deny Harmanpreet a miraculous finish.

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru already through to the final, Gujarat’s win leaves Mumbai’s playoff fate dependent on the final league match between Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz. For the Giants, though, Friday night was about more than qualification - it was a long-awaited breakthrough against their toughest rivals.

Gujarat Giants kept their WPL 2026 playoff hopes alive with a thrilling three-run win over Delhi Capitals at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. In Match 17, GG defended 174 successfully, restricting Delhi to 171 for eight in a tense finish.

Batting first, Gujarat posted 174/9, with Beth Mooney anchoring the innings through a composed 58 off 46 balls. Anushka Sharma chipped in with a quick 39 from 25 deliveries, while Tanuja Kanwer added valuable late runs with 21 off 11. For Delhi, Shree Charani was the standout bowler, picking up 4/31 in her four overs.

Delhi’s chase never fully settled after they slipped to 85/5. Niki Prasad’s impressive 47 off 24 balls gave them hope, but Sophie Devine (4/37) and Rajeshwari Gayakwad (3/20) held their nerve to seal a narrow win for Gujarat.

With only three league matches remaining in WPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the only side already assured of a playoff spot. The remaining four teams are still battling for the final two positions. Here’s how the qualification scenarios stack up.

1 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (10 points, NRR +0.947)

RCB began the tournament with five consecutive wins before losing their last two matches. Despite that dip, they remain in a commanding position.

A win against UP Warriorz in their final league match will take them to 12 points and confirm a direct entry into the final. Even if they lose that game, RCB are still highly likely to finish at the top, as Gujarat Giants are the only other team that can reach 10 points and are unlikely to overtake Bengaluru on net run rate.

2 Gujarat Giants (8 points, NRR -0.271)

Gujarat’s campaign has been a roller coaster. After two early wins, they suffered three straight defeats before bouncing back with consecutive victories. With eight points from seven matches, a win in their final league game will guarantee them a playoff berth, as no other team can reach 10 points in that scenario.

If GG lose to Mumbai Indians, things get complicated. They would then need UP Warriorz to lose to RCB and beat Delhi Capitals. In that case, GG and MI would finish on eight points, while DC and UPW would end on six. However, if multiple teams are tied on eight points, Gujarat’s inferior net run rate could still cost them a place in the playoffs.

3 Mumbai Indians (6 points, NRR +0.146)

Defending champions Mumbai Indians have also endured an inconsistent season, winning three of their seven matches so far. Their recent victory over RCB has kept them firmly in the hunt.

ALSO SEE: Why did Joe Root miss out on England’s 2026 T20 World Cup squad?

A win against Gujarat Giants in their final league match should be enough to secure qualification. If several teams finish on eight points, Mumbai’s relatively healthy net run rate is expected to work in their favour.

If MI lose to GG, they will need Delhi to lose to UP Warriorz and RCB to beat UPW. In that situation, MI, DC and UPW would all finish on six points, allowing Mumbai to progress on net run rate.

4 Delhi Capitals (6 points, NRR -0.164)

Delhi have mirrored Mumbai’s inconsistency. After starting with two losses, they won three of their next four games before losing narrowly to Gujarat. A victory over UP Warriorz in their final league match will take DC to eight points and confirm qualification. UPW would then remain on six points.

Delhi are also guaranteed to finish ahead of at least one of Gujarat or Mumbai. If GG beat MI, Mumbai will stay on six points. If MI beat GG, both MI and DC will have eight points, but Delhi’s net run rate would still keep them ahead of Gujarat in that scenario.

5 UP Warriorz (4 points, NRR -0.769)

UP Warriorz currently sit at the bottom of the table but are the only team with two matches remaining. They have four points from six games and still have an outside chance of making the playoffs.

UPW must win both their remaining matches against RCB and Delhi, and also hope that Gujarat beat Mumbai. That combination would leave RCB and GG on 10 points, with UPW sneaking into third place on eight points. If UPW finish on eight points alongside MI and GG, they will need a significant improvement in net run rate to stay ahead of at least one of those teams.

Should UPW lose to RCB and remain on six points, their qualification chances become extremely slim. They would then need a big win over Delhi and hope that Gujarat defeat Mumbai by a large margin, setting up a three-way tie on six points where net run rate would decide the final playoff spot.

Jemimah Rodrigues (captain of Delhi Capitals) received an INR 12 lakh fine due to a slow-over rate violation following her team's 2026 WPL match vs. Gujarat Giants. As a result of failing to complete their overs in a timely manner, the league held her responsible for the infraction.

It was quite a tense match; the Gujarat Giants scored 174 in the allotted 20 overs and thus finished with a total of 9 runs. The highlights were a cool-headed 58 runs scored by Australian Beth Mooney off 46 balls, and additional runs were provided by Anushka Sharma, who scored 39 off 28. On behalf of Delhi Capitals, the mighty Sree Charani was able to wreak havoc with his impressive bowling, with 4 wickets taken for 31 runs. Leading the charge with a 70-run partnership were Niki Prasad (47 not out) and Sneh Rana (29 not out); however, the Delhi Capitals found themselves needing to score on the last ball of the game in order to win the match.

In the end, Delhi fell just three runs short of victory, thanks to two extraordinary performances by Sophie Devine and Rajeshwari Gayakwad. Devine took 4 wickets for 37 runs, while Rajeshwari Gayakwad added 3 wickets for 20 runs, securing victory for the Gujarat Giants in the final over of play. With this victory over Delhi, the Gujarat Giants moved into second position on the WPL 2026 standings, and Delhi will look to regroup before playing their next match.

Over-Rate Penalty Overshadows Delhi’s Hard-Fought Battle

Gujarat Giants were well prepared for the challenges they faced with their lineup consisting of players with the ability to play at the highest level. During the final overs of the match, the Giants managed to stop the Capitals from getting close to their run total, as all four of their players took individual responsibility for the match, with each of them making a meaningful contribution. While many teams are just starting to find their rhythm, the Giants' performance showcased how advanced the formation of their players is.

Despite their problems in this match, the Capitals are looking forward to a fresh start against UP Warriorz in Vadodara on February 1st. The Capitals have been without their star players in this series, so this match may be a good opportunity for them to regain some confidence and make a return to the upper tier of the WPL 2026 points table for the remainder of the series.

Gujarat Giants Women will face Delhi Capitals Women in Game 17 of the 2026 Women's Premier League. Both teams have had inconsistent seasons thus far, with three wins and three losses each. Delhi is currently in second place, with Gujarat just behind in third, leaving little between the two teams. We expect a close game here, but Delhi's better form in recent games makes them the narrow favorites.

<![CDATA[Nat Sciver-Brunt hits first-ever WPL century in RCB Women vs MI Women in WPL 2026 Match 16]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/nat-sciver-brunt-hits-first-ever-wpl-century-in-rcb-women-vs-mi-women-in-wpl-2026-match-16/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/nat-sciver-brunt-hits-first-ever-wpl-century-in-rcb-women-vs-mi-women-in-wpl-2026-match-16/ Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:08:52 GMT

English all-rounder and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt created history during the 16th match of the WPL 2026 between RCB Women and MI Women, where she became the first batter in the tournament's history to record a century.      

WPL 2026: MI Women scored 199/4 against RCB Women

After RCB Women chose to field first, the defending champions MI Women managed to slam 199/4 in 20 overs. The no.3 batter Nat Sciver-Brunt hit her first T20 century, which created history in the Women's Premier League, as it was the first WPL century. 

Sciver-Brunt came to bat in the third over, after the MI opener Sajeevan Sajana was dismissed for seven runs. The English star had a 131-run partnership with the opener Hayley Matthews for the second wicket. While Matthews completed 50 runs in 34 balls, Sciver-Brunt earlier completed her 50 runs in 32 balls. 

Although Matthews was dismissed for 56 off 39 balls with nine fours, Sciver-Brunt continued her strong batting performance till the final moment of the innings.

Nat Sciver-Brunt became first to hit WPL century

In the final over of the innings, Sciver-Brunt needed one more run to become the first centurion of WPL. On the fourth ball of that over, which was her second ball facing in that over, Sciver-Brunt took a single to create WPL history. The first WPL century was recorded in 57 balls, as the English legend remained not out for 100 off 57 balls with 16 fours and one six.    

Before this knock, the WPL experienced 10 90+ scores, which all failed to reach the three-figure mark. Even Sophie Devine was the first batter to score 99 runs in the WPL 2023, while Georgia Voll scored 99 not out last season. Finally, the WPL century is over; as it was the 11th time lucky.
