Match Preview:
The Gujarat Giants and Royal Challengers lock horns to kick off their Delhi leg of the WPL 2024. Coming into this season after a disappointing 2023, the Bengaluru-based franchise has made massive improvements as they are competing for the top spot with three wins in five games. Whereas the Giants have continued their poor form as they remain at the bottom of the table with four straight losses.
Pitch Report:
Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has previously produced slow and low tracks changed during the recent ODI World Cup as teams managed to score big runs at a quick rate. The shorter dimensions of the ground help batters score runs and hit boundaries comfortably. But fast bowlers, with the new ball, can find swing while spinners will also have turn to operate as the pitch tends to slow down.
Team Analysis:
Gujarat Giants
The Beth Mooney-led Gujarat Giants are yet to find their feet in the WPL 2024 as the team has suffered four straight losses. Giants have also found themselves in a spot of bother against every opposition so far with poor performances across departments. With the bat, Aussie all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner has led the charge with 98 runs while Tanuja P Kanwar has been the pick of the bowlers with six wickets in four games.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women
In contrast, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have been one of the most exciting teams in the WPL 2024 with some stunning performances so far. The team has gelled into a well-oiled machine with firepower across departments. Captain Smriti Mandhana has led from the front with the bat as she holds the orange cap thanks to her tally of 219 runs. Whereas with the ball, the likes of Asha Sobhana and Sophie Molineux have been the top performers.
