DEL-W vs GUJ-W, Match 14: Top Five Picks
Shafali Verma (DEL): Despite, going for a duck in the last match, the right-handed batter has struck the second-most runs for her side so far at an average of 44.75 with two half-centuries. She should be back amongst the runs in this fixture.
Alice Capsey (DEL): Batting at no. 3, England international Alice Capsey came out all guns blazing as she smashed 38 off 24 with the help of 8 fours against RCB. The right-handed batter has also been handy with her off-spin and extracted wickets.
Shikha Pandey (DEL): The Indian pacer is the leading wicket-taker for DC so far in the campaign. The right-arm medium pacer also took 3 wickets for just 23 runs in her four-over spell in the last game.
Harleen Deol (GG): Barring the opening encounter, the elegant batter has got starts in all of the last four games. Deol has scores of 46, 67, 20 and 22 since then and would look to get the runs for her side. With an average of 31.00, she is the leading run-getter so far for GG.
Sophia Dunkley (GG): The English opener smashed 65 runs off 28 balls consisting off 11 fours and three sixes. The right-handed batter is expected to give a solid start to her team once again.
