In Match 14 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023, the Gujarat Giants (GG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face off. On Thursday, March 16, the eagerly anticipated match will take place at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.
Delhi Capitals stay second in the focuses table after an undeniably exhilarating triumph over Illustrious Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their past trip.
While Harmanpreet Kaur’s Mumbai Indians (MI) were the first team in the inaugural WPL to advance to the playoffs, the Capitals will advance with a win over the Giants.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants, their rivals, enter the match having suffered their fourth defeat in five games following yet another disastrous performance against the league leaders.
The Brabourne Stadium has seen a lot of high-scoring games, and it is expected to be a batting-friendly surface again tonight.
In light of this, the three batters who are most likely to score runs in today’s WPL match between GG and DC are as follows:
Shafali Verma – DC
Shafali Verma, a promising young Indian batsman, has been inconsistent throughout this tournament. She had two defeats after her fiery 84 against Bangalore in DC’s first match.
However, she came back to her best against GG, scoring 76 runs off 28 deliveries, including 10 fours and 5 sixes, to help her team reach the target in 7.1 overs.
In her latest excursion, be that as it may, Verma enlisted an astounding brilliant duck when Megan Schutt nipped an in-pleasure seeker through her protection.
In five tournament innings, the 19-year-old has scored 179 runs at an average of 44.7. Verma has stirred things up around town number of sixes (10) in the association and will need to stand up for herself on Thursday too.
Harleen Deol – GG
Harleen Deol has been the main Gujarat player to look agreeable in pretty much every game. The Giants’ erratic top and middle order has been stabilized by the right-hander.
Deol has scored the most runs for her team, scoring 155 in four innings at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 133.61.
The 24-year-old will once again be expected to score a lot of runs for Gujarat and make use of her good bat form.
Meg Lanning – DC
Meg Lanning is unsurprisingly one of the best candidates to participate in the runs on Thursday. Throughout the competition, the DC skipper has batted like a dream, crushing bowlers everywhere in the park.
In her five innings, Lanning has scored 221 runs at an average of 55.25, making her the tournament’s leading run-scorer. This includes consecutive half centenaries.
Shafali Verma and the Australian legend have formed a strong bond, and they will pose a serious threat to GG in tonight’s match.
