Transfers
Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 13.
1) Nat Sciver-Brunt (ALL) (MI) (10.5 Credits) - OUT | Marizanne Kapp (ALL) (DC) (9.5 Credits) - IN
2) Tanuja Kanwar (ALL) (GG) (7 Credits) - OUT | Meg Lanning (BAT) (DC) (10.5 Credits) - IN
I'm backing the Delhi Capitals to hit back after a shocking defeat to the UP Warriorz and seal their qualification for the playoffs, while also pipping MI at the top of the points table on net run rate (NRR).
Marizanne Kapp got a rest as Annabel Sutherland got an opportunity against UPW, but with this being a must-win game, expect all hands on deck from the WPL 2023 runners-up.
I'm also opting to bring in the DC captain Meg Lanning over any RCB overseas picks as the wickets in Delhi have been batter-friendly, and another run feast could be on the cards for the Australian.
With no uncapped player aside from Asha Shobana likely to score many points, I'm not using the uncapped transfer for today's game.
WPL Fantasy 2024 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 17 - DC vs RCB: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 17: Jess Jonassen (DC) (9.5 Credits), Shafali Verma (DC) (10 Credits, Smriti Mandhana (BAT) (RCB) (10.5 Credits), Asha Shobana (ALL) (RCB) (5 Credits), Meg Lanning (BAT) (DC) (10.5 Credits), and Marizanne Kapp (ALL) (DC) (9.5 Credits).
Barring Asha Shobana, any of the remaining five players make for terrific captaincy options. While Shafali Verma's inconsistency makes her a more maverick option, the other four players remain solid picks, and it certainly won't be an easy decision.
