WPL 2024 Orange Cap Race- Royal Challengers Bangalore Women’s 7-wicket win over Mumbai Indians Women knocked UP Warriorz Women out of the eliminator match.
As a result, Deepti Sharma of UP Warriorz was almost knocked out of the WPL 2024 Orange Cap Race. Deepti has batted at a strike rate of 136.57 in this WPL 2024 session. She scored 295 runs at an average of 36.87 this season. Deepti has three half-centuries among them.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals’ Meg Lanning still has two matches left to play. Deepti is in the WPL 2024 Orange Cap Race so far. Lanning of Delhi Capitals is next in the list of highest runs.
In just seven games, Lanning has amassed 290 runs. With the current WPL 2024 session, Meg Lanning’s strike rate at bat is 122.88. Meg Lanning has scored the most half-centuries for Delhi in the upcoming WPL 2024. He scored four half-centuries in all. Lanning needs six more runs to topple Deepti.
WPL 2023 Orange Cap holder Lanning, who captained Delhi Capitals, scored 345 runs in nine matches at an average of 49.28 and a strike rate of 139.11. Meg Lanning scored two fifties in the first season.
As in the first season, Lanning is a strong contender to win the Orange Cup for the second time in the second season as well.
If she wins the Orange Cup in this session as well, Lanning will become the second consecutive WPL captain to win the Orange Cap.
If you notice, you can see that in IPL, there is no captain who won the Orange Cup for the second time in a row, or no one could win the Orange Cup for the second time in a row.
Only Sunrisers Hyderabad’s David Warner has won the Orange Cup twice but he has failed to achieve the feat twice in a row. He won the Orange Cap for the first time in 2015 and then got the Orange Cap in 2017.
To win the Orange Cup for the second time, only Delhi Capitals captain Lanning has to wait for two more matches.
Although there are still three or four players in the race for the orange cap.
Top 5 Players in WPL 2024 Orange Cap Race :
| Player Name | Runs |
| Deepti Sharma (8 matches) | 295 |
| Meg Lanning (7 matches) | 290 |
| Beth Mooney (7 matches) | 285 |
| Smriti Mandhana (8 matches) | 259 |
| Ellyse Perry (7 matches) | 246 |
But Gujarat’s Beth Mooney needs 6 runs to overtake Lanning. Mooney scored 285 runs in 7 matches. But Gujarat have only one match left. To topple Lanning, Mooney needs a big run in his last match against Delhi Capitals and Lanning needs a low run out in today’s match against Gujarat. If Lanning gets out at a low score today, then there will be 1 more match left to make big score runs in front of Lanning.
