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 enter the contest riding back-to-back wins, highlighted by a dominant run chase that underlined their growing authority this season.
 
 
A key boost for Bengaluru has been the return to form of captain Smriti Mandhana, whose composed innings brought stability at the top. Support from aggressive partners and the finishing prowess of Richa Ghosh and Nadine de Klerk have made their batting line-up one of the most feared in the league.  Check WPL 2026 match updates and live scores from Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants here
 
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.
