Delhi Capitals (DC) ended their journey as runners-up in the maiden WPL installment. During the impressive campaign, their openers Meg Lanning and Shafali Varma played confidently and gave remarkable starts to the team. Lanning played nine matches in the competition and ended up as the leading run-scorer with 345 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 139.11.
Shafali Verma also showcased her batting mettle in the tournament. The youngster amassed 252 runs in nine matches at a stellar strike rate of 185.29. In the upcoming season, the duo will have to step up with their bats again.
Lanning bid adieu to international cricket recently and following this move, she will look to play freely for Capitals in the upcoming second edition of the women's T20 mega event. Riding on Lanning’s vast experience and Shafali’s promising talent, DC will strive to clinch the trophy in the upcoming WPL season.
