WPL 2023 | Delhi Capitals Women vs Gujarat Giants | 14th Match, 16th March, 7:30 PM | Match Preview

Series: Women’s Premier League 2023

Delhi Capitals Women vs Gujarat Giants, 14th Match 16th march Evening Seven Thirty Pm

Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

Delhi Capitals Women are perfectly placed to make it to the Women’s Premier League (WPL) playoffs. They have 8 points from 5 matches and a net run rate of +1.887. The Capitals would be optimistic about their chances with 3 games remaining. They next face the Gujarat Giants,
who are struggling in 4th place with just 2 points and a net run rate of -3.207.

Delhi Capitals Women have registered two comfortable wins in their previous two games – by 10 wickets against Gujarat Giants and by 6 wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore Women.

Captain Meg Lanning has led from the front, scoring 221 runs in 5 matches at an economy of 139 – the most by any batter in the league so far. She will be the MVP for the team going ahead.

Among the bowlers, Shikha Pandey has made the biggest impact, picking up 8 wickets at an economy of 6.84. Left-arm medium-pacer Tara Norris (7 wickets at 8.09) and Marizanne Kapp (6 wickets at 6.15) will continue
to ask questions to the batters.

Things haven’t been going too well for the Gujarat Giants Women. They have just one victory to show after 5 games and are unlikely to make it to the playoffs unless they pull off something remarkable in their remaining matches.
They are coming off two huge back-to-back losses – by 10 wickets to Delhi Capitals Women and by 55 runs to Mumbai Indians Women – which has severely dented their net run rate too.

The only batter who has made somewhat of an impression is Harleen Deol, with 133 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 143. English opener Sophia Dunkley smashed a 28-ball 65 against Royal Challengers Bangalore Women
at the Brabourne Stadium last week. The team would be hoping that the dashing batter can repeat her feat in this match.

Gujarat might consider bringing in Laura Wolvaardt for this game. The South African opening batter has scored 1079 runs in Women’s T20Is in 53 games and might provide solidity at the top.
