"We'll like to bowl first, with the dew coming in. - Jemimah Rodrigues"

Navi Mumbai, January 11

Delhi Capitals Women won the toss and opted to field against Gujarat Giants Women in match 4 of the ongoing Women's Premier League 2026 on Sunday in Navi Mumbai.

"It was good (game against UP), you want to start the competition with a win. Different people stood up at different times, pleasing to see that as a captain. It's fantastic to see people coming in and making an impact. It was so pleasing to share a partnership with Anushka. That'll give her confidence even today. No changes," GG skipper Ashleigh Gardner said.

Gujarat's batting looks strong with Mooney, Devine, and our own Anushka Sharma! That partnership Gardner mentioned will be key. Excited to see Renuka Singh bowl too.

Honestly, DC's team selection is a bit confusing. Where is Meg Lanning? She's a world-class captain and batter. Hope the management has a good reason for her absence. 🤔

Let's go Giants! Their confidence is high after the first win. Anushka Sharma played so well last time. Hope she gets another big score today. All the best to both teams!

Interesting to see the mix of strategies. DC going unchanged despite losses shows faith, GG unchanged due to winning momentum. The captain's mindset at the toss says a lot. Should be a cracker!
