Delhi Capitals (DC) registered a dominant six-wicket victory over Gujarat Giants (GG), propelling themselves to the top of the standings. After winning the toss, Delhi opted to field first, a decision that paid off handsomely as the Giants struggled to put up a competitive total. The Giants managed only 127/9 in their allotted 20 overs, a target that Delhi comfortably chased down in just 15.3 overs. Jess Jonassen’s stunning 61 not out off 32 deliveries p🔜layed a crucial role in securing Delhi’s emph🔯atic win.

Delhi Capitals’ bowlers decimate Gujarat Giants’ batting line-up

The match started on a disastrous note for the Giants as Delhi’s bowlers ripped through their top order in the powerplay. Shikha Pandey and Marizanne Kapp were ruthless with the new ball, sending back (5), Phoebe Litchfield (0), Beth Mooney (10) and Kashvee Gautam (0) within the first five overs. Gujarat found themselves reeling at 20/4, struggling to stitch together any significant partnership. Even as Deandra Dottin (26) tried to stabilize the innings, Titas Sadhu struck to remove Ashleigh Gardner, leaving the Giants in deeper trouble. Annabel Sutherland then delivered another blow by dismissing Dottin, ensuring the Giants never recovered from their early collapse. In the end, despite some resistance f𒆙rom the lower order, the Giants could only muster 127 runs for the loss of nine wickets.

Jess Jonassen and Shafali Verma seal the win

Delhi’s chase began with an early hiccup as captain Meg Lanning was dismissed for just 3 runs by Gautam in the fourth over. However, the duo of Shafali Verma and Jonassen quickly steadied the ship. They built a solid 74-run partnership, with Verma leading the charge initially, scoring 44 off 27 balls, including five fours and three sixes. Once Verma departed, Jonassen took over, accelerating the chase with a commanding innings. Her blistering 61 not out off 32 deliveries, featuring eight fours and two sixes, made the chase a mere formality. Jemimah Rodrigues played a supporting role, contributing five runs before falling, but by then, Delhi were firmly in control. Jonassen’s finishing touch ensured Delhi reached the target with 27 balls to spare, marking a compre🀅hensive victory.
