GG-W vs DC-W WPL 2023 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, Key Battles, H2H and More About Gujarat Giants vs Delhi Capitals, Women’s Premier League Inaugural Season Match 9 at Navi Mumbai

Gujarat Giants Women (GG-W) will face the invincible Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) on March 11 (Saturday) in match number nine of the TATA WPL 2023. The high-octane clash will be played at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai and the match will begin at 07:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). A fiery comeback in the second league match after an opening defeat helped Gujarat Giants in garnering two crucial points against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB-W) on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals, who were in top form in the first two matches, had to face their first upset of the tournament against Mumbai Indians on Thursday. WPL 2023 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate: RCB-W Continue to be Bottom-Placed Following 4th Consecutive Defeat.

From Gujarat Giants, a glitzy knock of 65 from 28 by Sophia Dunkley, who replaced injured Beth Mooney at the opening slot, provided the solid platform for the batters who followed in their previous match against RCB. Harleen Deol took full advantage of the stable start that the team had attained and amassed a valuable 67 in the middle to help GG-W post a monumental 201-run total. The duo of Ashleigh Gardner and Annabel Sutherland did the remaining damage with the ball, after removing half of the side of RCB-W. Gujarat Giants faced the blow in the form of Beth Mooney who sustained an injury during the first match. Since the Australian Wicket-keeper has been ruled out from the GG squad for the remainder of the season, the franchise roped in South Africa's classy opener Laura Wolvaardt as the former's replacement. Laura's inclusion will add the depth in batting that GG-W missed in their previous two matches.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, encountered a massive defeat against Mumbai Indians by eight wickets in their third league match. The strong batting line-up of DC collapsed on a mere 105-run total, with skipper Meg Lanning and Jemimah Rodrigues, the only batters crossing the 20-run mark. The batting fiasco had an inevitable impact on the bowlers as Delhi Capitals could remove only two wickets of the Mumbai Indians. The team has been tremendous in the first couple of matches and is expected to make a stormy comeback under the leadership of Meg Lanning in their next outing against Gujarat Giants on Saturday.
