Though New Zealander Sophie Devine: Gujarat Giants' Australian skipper Ashleigh Gardner highlighted the importance of Indian players in the Women's Premier League (WPL) side, noting the contribution of the local players in her team's narrow four-run victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 4 at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday.

Though New Zealander Sophie Devine (95 off 42 balls) and Gardner (49 off 26) starred with the bat to help the Giants post 209 all out in 20 overs after being asked to bat. Delhi Capitals' young bowler Nandani Sharma claimed her maiden five-wicket haul, including a hat-trick in the 20th over, as GG fell short of the target they were aiming for.

But Lizelle Lee (85) and Laura Wolvaardt (77) took Delhi Capitals to the verge of victory with seven needed from the last over before Devine produced more magic in the last over, conceding only two runs and taking wickets of Jemimah Rodrigues and Wolvaardt to seal victory.
