Women's Premier League 2026: RCB vs GG playing 11, live time, streaming

GG made one change in their playing 11, while RCB remained unchanged

Hoping to halt a sudden dip in momentum, Gujarat Giants are taking on table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru in today's Women’s Premier League clash. Gujarat Giants skipper Ashley Gardner wins the toss and she invites Smriti Mandhana-led RCB to bat first.  Gujarat, who briefly led the standings, slipped to third after a costly defeat to Mumbai Indians, a game marred by poor fielding and missed opportunities.

 

RCB, in contrast, look increasingly dominant with each outing. Their confidence is sky-high after a ruthless chase against UP Warriorz, powered by skipper Smriti Mandhana, who rediscovered her touch at the top. The presence of explosive batters like Grace Harris and Richa Ghosh has only strengthened their batting depth.  Check WPL 2026 match updates and live scores from Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants here

 

 

Gujarat will take encouragement from Kanika Ahuja’s positive knock at No. 3, but the onus will be on senior players Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine and skipper Ashleigh Gardner to step up. An improved bowling and fielding effort is non-negotiable if the Giants are to challenge an in-form RCB unit.
