GG vs RCB Match Preview

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women will face Gujarat Giants at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara to kick off the 2025 Women's Premier League season. Last year, both teams had a 1-1 head-to-head record. After being beaten by RCB in Bengaluru, the Giants responded in Delhi with a 199-run total, which they successfully defended. Laura Wolvaardt and Beth Mooney, who won that game, will continue playing for Gujarat this season. They've retained the majority of their key batters from last season. Deandra Dottin, a batting all-rounder, will strengthen the Giants' lineup. Nadine de Klerk and Sophie Devine have been excluded from RCBW, among other major changes.
