WPL 2025: Delhi Capitals focus on strengths ahead of Gujarat Giants clash

After going down against UP Warrioz in their previous match, Delhi Capitals will look to bounce back as they take on Gujarat Giants in their next match of the WPL 2025 at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday, February 25.

Speaking about the previous outing, Delhi Capitals Head Coach Jonathan Batty reflected on the learnings and discussions which the think tank had after the 33-run loss to Warriors. Notably, the Capitals have four points after as many games with two wins and losses each.

“We had a good review of the previous game where I thought we bowled really well for the first 16-17 overs of the opposition's innings but gave away some extras. This is something we are looking to really tighten up. We have made a significant improvement in terms of the lengths that we hit and we are really consistent with that.”

Having won and lost two each out of four matches thus far, Delhi Capitals are currently third in the points table. Reflecting on the team’s performance, Batty said, “We have played some really good cricket in recent times. It is only that we have not quite sealed a couple of games along the way. So moving forward, we are looking to tighten up a little bit, keep nailing those basics and keep the confidence high. We are going to every game wanting to win.”

Speaking about the match-up against Gujarat Giants, the Englishman said, “All the teams are really strong and that goes for Gujarat as well.”

“There are good quality international as well as domestic players. They are going to be a little bit more spin-heavy than we have seen in terms of their bowling lineup. Also, they have got danger batters, but we will just look to play to our strengths,” he concluded.
