The ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL) is racing close to its next round, as match number 14 of the league stage sees Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) duel with Gujarat Giants Women (GG-W) on March 16 (Thursday) at Brabourne Stadium in Maharashtra. The match will kick-start at 07:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) and the toss will be held at 07:00 PM IST.This will be the second face-off in the league stage between the two sides, with the previous one won by Delhi Capitals comprehensively. Meg Lanning's effect on Delhi Capitals is apparent as the team has already nearly set foot into the playoffs. With just one defeat from the previous five matches, the team rests in the second spot of the points table, only behind the Mumbai Indians. In their previous league matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), one of the closely fought contests of the inaugural season, Delhi Capitals managed to sneak yet another win by six wickets despite losing skipper Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma early on in the innings at the top. DC-W vs GG-W, Dream11 Team Prediction WPL 2023: Tips To Pick Best Fantasy Playing XI for Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Giants, Women’s Premier League Inaugural Season Match 14.

The middle order, including Jess Jonassen, Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp and Jemimah Rodrigues, who were exposed to pressure after an early falter at the top against RCB, proved a point and won the match without a significant hand of captain in the chase. The team looked equally good with the ball, especially after restricting RCB to a meagre 150-run total. Shikha Pandey who had an off-colour start to the tournament bagged three crucial wickets. The team is overall well-balanced to confront the next challenge on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the performance graph of Gujarat Giants lead players like Ashleigh Gardner, Sophia Dunkley and Harleen Deol looks declining with the progression of the tournament. Only one win from five matches has placed Gujarat Giants in the fourth number of the points table. In the last clash, though the bowlers did a tremendous job in death overs by restricting the Mumbai Indians (MI) on 162 run total, the batting crumbled to the bowling attack of MI. Harleen Deol remained the top scorer with 22 off 23 but failed to convert her innings into an impactful one. The team might include Laura Wolvaardt again in the playing XI, replacing Sophia Dunkley, dismissed in the previous match on a golden duck. Harleen Deol Pulls Off Stunning Catch to End Harmanpreet Kaur’s Knock During GG-W vs MI-W Match (Watch Video).
