The Gujarat Giants have played all their league stage matches in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026.
GG have qualified for the Eliminator, after their nail-biting victory against the Mumbai Indians.
Gujarat Giants kicked off the season with a 10-run victory over UP Warriorz on January 10. Then, they registered a close win by four runs against the Delhi Capitals on the next day to win two consecutive games at the start.
Unfortunately, GG couldn’t make it a hat-trick of wins and registered their first defeat of the season against Mumbai Indians. A similar story repeated when GG were chasing 183 against RCB. Bharti Fulmali top-scored with a 20-ball 39, but it wasn’t enough to help the team over the line.
In the reverse fixture at their home ground in Vadodara, GG fell to RCB again despite reducing the side to 9/2 in the first innings. A poor batting show in the second innings meant RCB won the match and qualified for the WPL 2026 playoffs.
On a slugging wicket in Vadodara next, GG posted a modest 154-run total on the board, thanks to late finishing touches by Sophie Devine. The bowlers did an exceptional job, especially Rajeshwari Gayakwad, as they restricted the UP Warriorz to 108. The Ashleigh Gardner-led side once again showcased their mettle, pulling off a narrow last over win against DC despite looking to concede the contest at one stage.
One common query so far was: Could Gujarat Giants qualify without depending on other teams? They have done that with a win over MI, and will now play in the Eliminator.
In most qualification scenarios, eight points usually guarantee a playoff spot but as things stand, the net run rate can play a role, and they might depend on other teams to advance to the next round if they lost their final game.
The fixture against Mumbai Indians went right down to the wire, with 26 runs required off the last over – bowled by Ashleigh Gardner. Despite two sixes from the MI skipper, the Women in Orange held their nerve to clinch the match and book a Eliminator berth.
In their clash against DC, they did get a decent start after the early wicket of Sophie Devine. Opener Beth Mooney slammed her first fifty of WPL 2026 but GG then faced a mini collapse, losing wickets from the other end. Captain Ashleigh Gardner and Kanika Ahuja once again had forgettable outings, departing with single-digit scores.
Moreover, Ashleigh Gardner hasn’t been in great form with the ball and failed to adapt to the flat conditions in WPL 2026. In seven games so far, she has five wickets and conceded 10.00 runs per over. If her returns don’t improve, Gujarat Giants’ ambition for a maiden trophy might take a hit.
Pacers have also not performed too well for the Gujarat Giants, who mostly have Indian options in this department.
GG have qualified for the Eliminator of WPL 2026.
