GGW vs DCW Team Previews
Gujarat Giants Women
After losing their first two fixtures, the Gujarat Giants finally managed to turn things around on Wednesday as they defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women by 11 runs in a thrilling encounter. However, they will find it difficult to emulate that performance against Delhi as the latter has been at the top of their game ever since the start of the season.
The Giants will depend on the top order to give them a good start here. Sophia Dunkley, who was elevated to the opening slot to replace injured Beth Mooney brought out her A game as she clobbered the RCB bowlers around the part. Dunkley brought up her half-century in just 18 deliveries, which is a record for the WPL, and went on to score 65 before getting out.
Harleen Deol too was quite impressive as she played a gritty knock of 67 runs. The form of the middle-order batters remains a bit of a concern though for the Giants. D Hemalatha, Ashleigh Gardner, and Annabel Sutherland have got decent starts but have failed to convert them into big inning so far.
The team has roped in Laura Wolvaardt as a replacement for Mooney and it remains to be seen as to where she will be slotted into the team. Kim Garth, who picked up a brilliant fifer against the UP Warriorz went wicketless in the last match.
All-rounders Gardner and Sutherland picked up 5 wickets between them and will once again play an important role along with Sneh Rana, who will lead the side in this game.

Delhi Capitals Women
The Delhi Capitals Women faced their first defeat of the season in their latest outing as they were beaten quite convincingly by the Mumbai Indians Women. As a result, they stay second on the points table with 4 points.<br /> Captain Meg Lanning is in excellent form for the Capitals as she has scored 2 half-centuries in her 3 innings so far. She was also the top-scorer in the match against the Mumbai Indians, scoring 43 runs.
Talking about that game, it was a big failure for Delhi as far as batting was concerned as only 3 of the 11 players managed to reach double digits. Jemimah Rodrigues and Lanning put up a 50-run partnership for the 4th wicket, but once Rodrigues departed, things rapidly went downhill as the Capitals were bundled out for 105. Shafali Verma scored a brilliant 84 in the first match but hasn’t been able to follow it up with a good inning in the next 2 matches.
Marizanne Kapp has enjoyed limited success with the bat as well as the ball. The seamers, Alice Capsey and Tara Norris have done surprisingly well for the Capitals on pitches that have traditionally helped the spinners. The Indian bowlers Radha Yadav and Shikha Pandey have got limited success and will need to bowl a better line and length here.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium is excellent to bat on and we can expect a high-scoring encounter here. The average first-inning score here is around 180 but the team batting first will be looking to get over 200 on the board to give their bowlers a good chance. The spinners will get some turn as the match progresses while the seamers will need to bowl a tight line and length.
The weather is expected to remain clear with temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius.
GGW vs DCW Betting Tips
While the Gujarat Giants made a good comeback in their last outing, we think that they will struggle to put up a similar performance against quality opposition like the Delhi Capitals. The Capitals on the other hand have a stronger batting line-up and with the kind of form that their top order is in, they will find it easy to take on the average bowling of the Giants.
Bet on the Delhi Capitals to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Meg Lanning is in sublime form this season and has scored 2 half-centuries in 3 innings and has been the top batter for her team in 2 of those 3 outings. She will relish the opportunity to bat against the average bowling line-up of Gujarat and we expect her to once again emerge as the top batter for her team.
The last time that the Capitals played on this ground, they scored 57 runs during the Powerplay with both the openers, Lanning and Shafali Verma scoring runs at a brisk pace. With the other top-order batters in good form too, the Capitals can easily score 52 runs or more during the Powerplay.
Ashleigh Gardner is an excellent all-rounder for Australia and is an effective bowler during the middle overs. She is likely to be quite potent with her off-spinners on the turning tracks of the Brabourne Stadium and we are backing her to be the top wicket-taker for the Giants in this match.
