Ahead of the 17th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 edition, Delhi Capitals will take on Gujarat Giants at the Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. Delhi Capitals have had a good run recently as they won their last two matches and they also ended the winning streak of the table-toppers, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Jemimah and her side will be looking to build on the momentum they have created, and their players will be truly high on confidence. In the upcoming fixture against Gujarat Giants, here are the top 3 players to look out for:
Marizanne Kapp
Marizanne Kapp, the South African all-rounder, has been one of the best players for Delhi Capitals with both bat and ball this season. In her T20I career, she has picked up 92 wickets from 104 matches at an economy of 5, and she has scored 1641 runs from 98 innings. In her WPL career, she has scored 407 runs from 30 innings, and she has picked 34 wickets from 30 innings. She was awarded the player of the match in her previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where she scored an unbeaten 19 and picked up two wickets for just 19 runs in their 4 overs.
Nandni Sharma
Nandni Sharma, the young Indian pacer, represents Chandigarh on the domestic circuit and she has been a great find for Delhi Capitals. She is only the second Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in WPL history. In her WPL career, she has picked up 13 wickets from 6 innings at an economy of 8. She landed the final blow against Royal Challengers Bengaluru as she dismantled the lower order and picked up 3 wickets in her final spell. She will be an integral component of the bowling unit of the Capitals considering her good run of form so far.
Laura Wolvaardt
Laura Wolvaardt, the South African top-order batter has been one of the most consistent run-getters for Delhi Capitals. In her T20I career, she scored 2225 runs from 79 innings at a strike rate of 118. In her WPL career, she has scored 512 runs from 19 innings at a strike rate of 128. She stood tall with an unbeaten 42 and guided the Capitals to a comfortable victory by 7 wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Wolvaardt’s form would be crucial considering her ability to carry the batting unit and win matches single-handedly for her side.
