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.

GG vs RCB Probable Winners:

Both batting lineups are deep, and both teams have a large number of all-rounders. In terms of squad strengths, both teams appear to be fairly evenly matched. However, RCB Women have a slight advantage in the batting department. They have more dependable batters throughout the lineup. RCB will start as the favorites in our match prediction. Considering the team combination, Royal Challengers Bangalore is expected to win this match.

The Gujarat Giants are still winless, while the Royal Challengers break their losing streak to get close to qualifying.

GG-W vs RCB-W Key Players

Ellyse Perry

Ellyse Perry, a legend of the game, is back for more. She’s been big edgy with her batting form and hasn’t bowled as much in recent games but will be hoping to use the WPL to get herself back to her best before the T20 World Cup.

Beth Moony

Beth Moony was unfortunate to miss out last season after an injury in the first game ruled her out for the whole season. Her injury turned out to derail Gujarat’s campaign and she will be eager to prove that she can make a mark this season.

RCB-W vs GG-W Match Tips

Royal Challengers are favorites as they look to extend their lead from the other two bottom-placed sides.

Two sides with strong line-ups are struggling for wins. They both are coming after some comprehensive defeats and need some magic to get their tournaments going. The upcoming fixture for that reason becomes crucial. The winner here could get a lot of momentum going, and leave the other side struggling to cover ground.

GG-W vs RCB-W Key Players

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana’s performance in the upcoming tournament is very important for both her, and the Indian team. Her performance in high pressure situations has often been questionable and Mandhana will be hoping to find better ways to handle the big stage with a chance to perform on a massive platform now.

Sneh Rana

With Beth Moony likely to miss out, Sneh Rana will be taking over the reins. She is a pretty composed cricketer and with a chance of leading a side, it will be interesting to see how she reacts to the challenge.

GG-W vs RCB-W Match Tips

GG and RCB both are failing to register wins. The manner of RCB’s losses though leaves them with a little hope as they have atleast given a better fight than GG has against their opponents.
