Consistency has been the hallmark of Royal Challengers Bengaluru so far, and they will look to extend their stay at the top as they meet Gujarat Giants in a high-stakes WPL encounter today. GG skipper Ashley Gardner wins the toss and opts to bowl first.
RCB vs GG playing 11: RCB playing 11: Grace Harris, Smriti Mandhana(c), Dayalan Hemalatha, Gautami Naik, Richa Ghosh(w), Radha Yadav, Nadine de Klerk, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell GG playing 11: Beth Mooney(w), Sophie Devine, Ashleigh Gardner(c), Shivani Singh, Georgia Wareham, Kanika Ahuja, Bharti Fulmali, Kashvee Gautam, Tanuja Kanwer, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Renuka Singh Thakur
RCB enter the contest riding back-to-back wins, highlighted by a dominant run chase that underlined their growing authority this season.
Gujarat, meanwhile, are searching for answers after defensive lapses proved expensive against Mumbai Indians. While Kanika Ahuja and Bharti Fulmali provided sparks with the bat, the Giants need bigger contributions from Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine and Ashleigh Gardner. With their bowling also under scrutiny, Gujarat must deliver a far more disciplined performance to derail the confident RCB juggernaut.
With all that in mind, let’s take a look at how the RCB vs GG head-to-head encounters have panned out over the years.
