Toss Delhi Capitals chose to bowl vs Gujarat Giants
Going with the trend in WPL 2025, Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Meg Lanning opted to field first after winning the toss against Gujarat Giants (GG) in Bengaluru. Lanning expected her bowlers to pick up early wickets and put the opposition under pressure.
GG captain Ash Gardner said it was a nice week off to reset after they played three games very quickly. She also expected “a lot more bounce” here than in Vadodara.
One square boundary is significantly shorter than the other – 51 metres vs 63 metres – and the batters would like to exploit that. The straight boundary is 67 metres.
GG are currently at the bottom of the points table with two points from three games. DC are just above them with two wins and as many losses from four. Both teams are coming off a defeat.
