Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Giants WPL Live Score: The Gujarat Giants have faced another challenging season in the ongoing competition. After finishing at the bottom of the table in the inaugural season, their hopes for a playoff berth were crushed with four consecutive losses. This disappointing performance has left them with little to play for except pride in the current season. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals find themselves in a favorable position, and only complacency could hinder their chances of securing a direct berth in the final. Despite facing a couple of close contests in the recent games, the Delhi Capitals aim to secure their spot in the final with a commanding and authoritative victory. The team is keen on maintaining its winning momentum and solidifying its position as a strong contender for the championship. The victory of Royal Challengers Bangalore against Mumbai Indians has solidified the three teams making it to the playoffs in WPL 2024, making the final match of the league stage inconsequential. However, the Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Giants game still holds some significance. Being at the top of the table due to their consistent performances throughout the competition, the Delhi Capitals are set to continue their impressive run. Their goal is to conclude the league stage with the most wins, solidifying their position as the team with the best record in the tournament. After Mumbai Indians' loss led to a dip in their net run rate, the Delhi Capitals are on track to secure a direct spot in the final. However, there is a chance for Mumbai to overtake them for the top spot. To achieve this, Mumbai would require assistance from the Gujarat Giants, who need to win the match by a margin of approximately 120 runs or with around 90 balls to spare. This scenario adds an intriguing element to the final league stage match, as the outcome could potentially impact the teams' positions and playoff matchups in the WPL 2024. The Gujarat Giants, having had a contrasting season compared to the high-flying Delhi Capitals, are eager to finish on a high note. However, to avoid securing the wooden spoon for the second consecutive time in the WPL, they face a daunting task. To surpass UP Warriorz's net run rate, the Giants must either score 160 runs and restrict the Capitals to 103 or less, or chase down 161 runs within 12.1 overs. This is undeniably a challenging scenario and easier said than done, adding an element of difficulty for the Giants in their final league stage match of the WPL. The venue for the recent matches has provided a contrast in pitches, with some being high-scoring encounters and others turning out to be low-scoring games. In Delhi, teams batting first have experienced more success, winning six out of eight matches. The variability in pitch conditions adds an interesting dynamic to the game, making it crucial for teams to adapt and strategise accordingly based on the prevailing conditions.

DC vs GG Live: TOSS - Gujarat Giants skipper Beth Mooney wins toss, opts to bat against Delhi Capitals
TOSS - Gujarat have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first.
Pitch and Conditions - There was a little drizzle earlier in the evening, but the pitch has been well covered. It's the centre wicket and has been used a couple of times earlier as well. 55m and 56m square boundaries, 65m straight. The rain has meant that the pitch has become a bit cool, it indicates that seamers might get some assistance, not much for the spinners. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, runs on offer here.
