DC-W vs GG-W preview (X.com)

The WPL 2024 season has reached its final destination, with the last league game scheduled between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from 7.30 PM IST onwards on Wednesday. While DC has comfortably qualified for the playoff stage, GG's hopes are virtually diminished. 

DEL-W vs GUJ-W: Team Previews

Delhi Capitals Women

Delhi Capitals comfortably qualified for the playoff stage of the WPL 2024 edition, with 10 points added to their tally. However, to ensure a direct entry to the finals, the Capital must win this game to finish as table toppers.

Besides a bizarre loss against UP Warriorz, Delhi Capitals have been largely consistent as a unit. Meg Lanning has led from the front in the literal sense by contributing meaningfully at the top. 

Shafali Verma has had her moments of hits and misses, but the middle order, comprising Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, and Marizanne Kapp, has collectively stepped up. 

With the ball, Radha Yadav is neck to neck with Sophie Ecclestone for the purple cup race for most wickets in the tournament. 

Overall, DC has no significant area of weakness and is a favourite to finish at the top and get a free pass to the final of the WPL 2024 season.

Gujarat Giants Women

Gujarat Giants Women stand mathematically eliminated from the playoff race. But they spoiled the UP Warriorz party the other night with a sensational eight-run win.

Captain Beth Mooney's dominating 74 runs knock proved to be a match-winning innings for GG-W. But during the chase, teenager Shabnam Shakil stole the show with three crucial wickets, which involved the dismissals of Alyssa Healy and Chamari Athapaththu.

While Deepti Sharma's blistering 86-run knock flared up tensions, Gujarat Giants held their nerves to clinch a much-needed victory.

While fans enjoyed a last-over thriller encounter, GG would have perhaps loved this resurgence a little earlier. They are currently seated at the bottom of the points table with only two wins in seven games.

DEL-W vs GUJ-W: Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally suited the batters with a true bounce and good pace off the surface. However, the surface could also assist the spinners in the latter half of the play. The past few games have been won by teams defending, which makes toss a crucial factor. But overall, anything around 170-180 should be a par score on this wicket.
