WPL 2024, DC-W vs GG Preview: Delhi aim for top spot against struggling Giants
WPL 2024: Delhi Capitals take on Gujarat Giants
The Women's Premier League (WPL) SuperSunday (Mar 3) encounter will seeDelhi Capitals Women (DCW) take onGujarat Giants (GG) at the iconicM Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Both teams come into this contest with contrasting emotions as well as place on the points table. While DCW are at the second position with four points, having played three games, GGare yet to get off the mark, languishing at the bottom of the table.
Delhi started the WPL campaign with a defeat against Mumbai Indians Women but since then, they have turned things around, having beaten the likes ofUP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The Giants, despite being captained by Beth Mooney and having Mithali Rajas a mentor, have failed to get going. A loss against Delhi might not be entirely curtains but surely make the task of qualifying for the knockouts an extremely difficult job.

Shafali Verma vs Tanuja Kanwar
