as you can find in electrochemical series F2 is placed above Cl2 and F2 has most +ve reduction potential.so F2 is better oxidising agent than Cl2.

F2 is strong oxidising agent than Cl2 because
Bond dissociation enthalpy of F2 is less than that of Cl2.
Electron gain enthalpy of F is less than that of Cl2.
F- has high hydration enthalpy than Cl- due to small size.

F2 is strong oxidizing agent than Cl2 althoough electron gain enthalpy is low why/

Amanpreet Kaur answered this
because F is more electronegative than Cl and it attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself easily and strongly towards itself than Cl .

Amanpreet Kaur answered this
also when we compare the reduction potential F has high positive value of reduction potential than that of Cl .That is why F is stronger oxidising agent than Cl
