Delhi Capitals (DC) face Gujarat Giants (GG) in match number 20 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday, March 13.
The DC vs GG clash will be the last match of the league stage. The playoffs spots, though, have been locked in, with Royal Challengers Bangalore hammering Mumbai Indians by seven wickets on Tuesday.
DC are leading the WPL 2024 points table, with 10 points from seven games and an impressive run rate of +0.918. Delhi are set to finish atop the table irrespective of the result of Wednesday’s game. Even if they lose to Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, who have a net run rate of +0.024, are unlikely to topple them in the standings.
In their last game, Delhi played out a thriller against RCB, sneaking home by one run. DC batted first and put up 181-5. Richa Ghosh came up with a sensational half-century in response but was run out on the last ball.
Shifting our focus to GG, their main aim will be to not finish last in the points table - a tough task - considering their poor net run rate of -0.873.
Today's DC vs GG toss result
Gujarat Giants have won the toss and opted to bat first. Captain Beth Mooney said:
“(It's the) Same reason as before (for batting first). It's been working for us in the last few games. We've been able to put some runs on the board.”
GG are going in with an unchanged playing XI, while DC have made one - Minnu Mani coming in for Titas Sadhu.

Today's DC vs GG pitch report
In her pitch report for the gaame, Anjum Chopra said:
“It's the center pitch and has been used a few times in the tournament. (There is) a slight change in the dimensions, pretty much equal distance on the side, but there isn't much of a change straight down.
"As I place my palm, it’s cooler on the surface where it was drier yesterday. Looks like a good batting deck. Spinners might not get the same assistance."
