I can't wait to watch her delivers the speech?

In the sentence "I can't wait to watch her delivers the speech" Is the word "delivers" or "deliver" more appropriate? I thought "delivers" makes more sense but I am not sure.

so in the case of complimentary verb, does it always stay in infinitive form?

When watch is followed by another verb, that verb always takes the bare infinitive.
