The Royal Challengers Bangalore Women are barely favored to win. Considering the team combination, Royal Challengers Bangalore is expected to win this match.

Sneh Rana Steps In for RCB :
In the absence of Shreyanka, RCB has signed Indian experienced all-rounder Sneh Rana in place of the former. Released by Gujarat Giants prior to the 2025 season, Rana will offer quality experience both as a bowler and as a lower-order batter. With the talent for withstanding pressure situations, Rana proves a valuable acquisition to the team.

 Injury Fears Increase for RCB :
Shreyanka's injury is not the first this season for RCB. Sophie Molineux and Asha Sobhana have also been suffering from injuries, making it more than one setback for the team. Senior players Kate Cross and Sophie Devine have also pulled out of the tournament, again pushing RCB's squad depth to the test.

In setbacks, the defending champions will try to rally around what is left of their squad members and move on in the WPL 2025 season. With important matches ahead, how well the team can adapt and overcome challenges will be the determining factor in their campaign.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) got their campaign off to a thunderous start by posting the biggest successful chase in the Women's Premier League (WPL). On Friday, February 14, RCB overhauled a massive target of 202 to defeat Gujarat Giants (GG) by six wickets at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Richa Ghosh slammed an unbeaten 64 off 27 deliveries as RCB cruised home with nine balls in hand.

During the run-chase, Gardner dismissed Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt-Hodge in her first over. But Perry and Raghvi Bist held the fort with a 86-run third-wicket partnership. Perry was fluent, reaching her half-century off 27 balls before being dismissed by Sayali Satghare. But from then on, the Challengers never looked back.
