WPL 2023: Match 14, DEL-W vs GUJ-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WPL match between DEL-W and GUJ-W?

In order to stay alive in the competition, the match against Delhi Capitals on March 16 at the Braboune Stadium in Mumbai will be extremely vital for Gujarat Giants. They have been pretty pale for the majority of the tournament, winning just one out of five matches. With skipper Beth Mooney already being ruled out of the tournament, the batting unit has certainly felt her absence as the team is yet to show the kind of damage they are capable of doing.

The team management also seemed to be confused with the playing XI. After scoring a sensational half-century against Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier in the tournament, Sophia Dunkley was dropped but was again called up just after a match. When it comes to captaincy, Sneh Rana is not an experienced campaigner and thus, some of her decisions backfired in the previous few matches. Meanwhile, Ashleigh Gardner has done a pretty good job with the ball so far and will definitely be one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming match.

Coming to the Meg Lanning-led side, Delhi have managed to win four out of their five matches in the competition. Allrounders Jess Jonassen and Marizanne Kapp were sensational in the last match against RCB while the opening duo of Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma has done a commendable job so far in the tournament. The side has looked really sharp on the field courtesy of which, they are currently one of the favourites to win the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
