The last league game of the WPL 2024 season will feature table-topper Delhi Capitals and bottom-dweller Gujarat Giants. Meg Lanning-led Delhi is eyeing direct entry to the final, while Beth Mooney’s GG has nothing to lose at this point. Tonight, the Capitals need a win or to avoid a loss with a big margin to finish the season as table-toppers and secure a spot in the final. On the other hand, the Gujarat Giants would want to end the season with a win and 6 points to their name.
Skipper Meg Lanning has led the side from the front this season, emerging as the top run-getter for her team with 290 runs in 7 games so far. Similarly, Beth Mooney, the captain of the Giants, has also been the top-scorer for her team, accumulating 285 runs in 7 games. Today, both have a chance to surpass Deepti Sharma’s 295-run tally and clinch the orange cap.
Gujarat Giants had a forgettable start to the Women’s Premier League 2024 season with four defeats in a row. However, in the last three matches, they have displayed excellent cricket. They are entering today’s game on the back of a victory in their last clash against UP Warriorz. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals Women narrowly avoided defeat in their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Thanks to Shafali Verma’s accurate throw on the last ball of the game, DC managed to win the game by 1 run.
DEL-W vs GUJ-W Pitch Report
The first few matches of the WPL 2023 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium were high-scoring, but the last two matches here have been low-scoring affairs. Spin bowlers are finding assistance from the surface, making scoring against them difficult. In the WPL 2024 season at Delhi, bowling first has been the preferred choice, as most of the matches have been won by teams batting second.
