Here are 5 Dream11 team predictions for the Gujarat Giants Women (GG-W) vs Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) WPL 2026 match (Match 17).

​These teams are designed to cover different match scenarios, from safe small league contests to high-risk Grand Leagues.

​Match Details

• ​Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2026
• ​Time: 7:30 PM IST
• ​Venue: BCA Stadium, Vadodara
• ​Pitch Report: Generally batting-friendly with some help for pacers early on. Dew may play a role in the second innings, favouring the chasing team.

​Team 1: The "Safe & Balanced" XI (Small League)

​Best for Head-to-Head (H2H) and 3-4 member contests. Focuses on consistent performers.

• ​Wicket-Keepers: Beth Mooney (GG), Lizelle Lee (DC)
• ​Batters: Shafali Verma (DC), Laura Wolvaardt (DC), Danni Wyatt-Hodge (GG)
• ​All-Rounders: Ashleigh Gardner (VC), Marizanne Kapp (C), Sophie Devine
• ​Bowlers: Renuka Singh (GG), Nandani Sharma (DC), Kashvee Gautam (GG)

​Strategy: Marizanne Kapp is a reliable captain due to her new-ball bowling and batting depth. Gardner provides consistent points with both bat and ball.




​Team 2: DC Dominance (Chasing)

​Use this if you expect Delhi Capitals to bowl first and chase down the target easily.

• ​Wicket-Keepers: Beth Mooney (GG), Lizelle Lee (VC)
• ​Batters: Shafali Verma (C), Laura Wolvaardt (DC), Jemimah Rodrigues (DC)
• ​All-Rounders: Marizanne Kapp (DC), Ashleigh Gardner (GG), Chinelle Henry (DC)
• ​Bowlers: Nandani Sharma (DC), Sneh Rana (DC), Renuka Singh (GG)

​Strategy: Heavily stacks DC's top order (Shafali, Lee, Wolvaardt) to chase a score without losing many wickets. DC bowlers are prioritized to restrict GG.




​Team 3: GG Dominance (Defending)

​Use this if you expect Gujarat Giants to bat first, score big, and defend successfully.

• ​Wicket-Keepers: Beth Mooney (C)
• ​Batters: Danni Wyatt-Hodge (GG), Shafali Verma (DC), Jemimah Rodrigues (DC)
• ​All-Rounders: Sophie Devine (VC), Ashleigh Gardner (GG), Marizanne Kapp (DC), Anushka Sharma (GG)
• ​Bowlers: Renuka Singh (GG), Rajeshwari Gayakwad (GG), Nandani Sharma (DC)

​Strategy: Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine are crucial for setting a big total. GG bowlers like Renuka and Gayakwad are backed to take wickets in the second innings.




​Team 4: Grand League (Bowler Friendly)

​High risk. Assumes a low-scoring game where wickets fall in clusters.

• ​Wicket-Keepers: Lizelle Lee (DC)
• ​Batters: Laura Wolvaardt (DC), Danni Wyatt-Hodge (GG)
• ​All-Rounders: Ashleigh Gardner (GG), Marizanne Kapp (DC), Sophie Devine (GG)
• ​Bowlers: Nandani Sharma (C), Renuka Singh (VC), Kashvee Gautam (GG), Rajeshwari Gayakwad (GG), Shree Charani (DC)

​Strategy: Captaining Nandani Sharma (highest wicket-taker for DC recently) is a massive differential. If the pitch is sticky or assists bowlers, this team will skyrocket.




​Team 5: The "High Risk" Differential

​Drops a popular player (like Shafali Verma) to fit in credit-heavy all-rounders.

• ​Wicket-Keepers: Beth Mooney (GG), Lizelle Lee (DC)
• ​Batters: Jemimah Rodrigues (DC), Danni Wyatt-Hodge (GG), Bharti Fulmali (GG)
• ​All-Rounders: Sophie Devine (C), Ashleigh Gardner (VC), Marizanne Kapp (DC), Chinelle Henry (DC)
• ​Bowlers: Nandani Sharma (DC), Tanuja Kanwar (GG)

​Strategy: This team banks on the "Law of Averages"—if Shafali Verma fails early, this team gains an advantage over 80% of opponents. Sophie Devine is Captain for her high ceiling (bat + ball).




​Key Captaincy Picks (C/VC)

1. ​Safe: Marizanne Kapp, Ashleigh Gardner
2. ​Aggressive: Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee
3. ​Risky: Nandani Sharma, Sophie Devine
