DEL-W vs GUJ-W Fantasy Cricket Tips
Scenario: Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI
- Meg Lanning has been in fine form with the bat in the tournament. Her current run with the bat makes her a prime pick for the fantasy contests of the game.
- Jess Jonassen started off the tournament brilliantly with the ball. However, in the last couple of games, she lacked the rhythm, but before the business end of the tournament starts, she will try to find her form back.
Scenario: Gujarat Giants Heavy Fantasy XI
- The skipper of the Gujarat Giants, Beth Mooney, has been in great form in the last three games. For the Giants to be successful against the Capitals, Mooney will have to continue her momentum with the bat.
- Tanuja Kanwer has been the most successful bowler for her team in the tournament. She should be a must-pick from the Gujarat Giants side.
DEL-W vs GUJ-W Winner Predictions

Meg Lanning (DEL-W)
The former Australian skipper has been the best batter for the team in the tournament. Meg Lanning's form with the bat makes her a must-choice for the game.
Jess Jonassen (DEL-W)
The Australian spin-bowling all-rounder started her journey brilliantly with the ball in this tournament. However, Jess Jonassen has been a bit off-colour in the last two games. But she can pick up a wicket at any stage of the game and contribute with the bat in the lower order, so Jonassen will be a prime pick for the game.
Beth Mooney has been in brilliant batting form in the last three matches (Source: x.com)
Beth Mooney (GUJ-W)
The Australian opener has been in great touch in the last three games. Beth Mooney's current form makes her the best choice from the GG side.
Ashleigh Gardner (GUJ-W)
The Australian all-rounder is one of the best in the business with the ball. Ashleigh Gardner can also be a match-winner with the bat lower down the batting order. Given her all-rounder abilities, Gardner is a good choice for the game.
DEL-W vs GUJ-W Differential Picks
Shafali Verma (DEL-W)
The Indian opener has got starts with the bat in most of the games. But barring a single innings, Shafali Verma has not yet scored big in the tournament. Her lack of form makes Verma a differential choice for the game.
Tanuja Kanwer (GUJ-W)
The Indian left-arm spinner has been a regular wicket-taker for her team. But Tanuja Kanwer is yet to leave a match-winning impact in any of the games and thus will be a differential choice for the game.

The wicket at the Arjun Jaitley Stadium has been a balanced one. Given the strengths of the two teams, a 1-3-4-3 combination will be ideal for the game.
