Date: January 27, 2026 Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi (or relevant WPL venue)
The coin has flipped in favor of the home captain! Meg Lanning and the Delhi Capitals (DC) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Gujarat Giants (GG) in this crucial WPL 2026 encounter.
With the dew factor likely to play a role later in the evening and the Arun Jaitley Stadium traditionally favoring chasing sides, Lanning’s decision was a no-brainer. However, the bigger headline comes from the Gujarat Giants camp, who have been forced to make a significant change to their winning combination.
The Gujarat Giants, who have been on a resurgence lately, suffered a late setback. Their star opener, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, is unwell and has been ruled out of today's fixture.
Impact: Losing Wyatt-Hodge is massive. She has been the aggressor at the top, allowing Beth Mooney to anchor. However, bringing in Georgia Wareham adds depth to the bowling and lower-order hitting. We might see Beth Mooney open with a new partner, possibly promoting Phoebe Litchfield or Dayalan Hemalatha up the order.
Meg Lanning (DC): We will have a bowl. The wicket looks good, but we prefer to know the target. It’s a fresh surface, and we want to use the early movement.
Beth Mooney (GG): We would have bowled first, too, but putting runs on the board is never a bad thing in a pressure game. Danni misses out; unfortunately, she’s not feeling 100%, so Georgia comes back in.
