GG vs RCB: What’s at Stake
This rivalry has quietly turned competitive. Across seven WPL meetings so far, RCB Women hold a narrow edge with four wins, while Gujarat Giants have taken three. Over the past year, Gujarat have won six of their 13 matches (46.15%), while Bengaluru have been slightly more consistent, winning six of 11 games (54.55%).
RCB enter this clash with confidence after a convincing 32-run win in their last outing against Gujarat. Batting first, Bengaluru piled up 182/7, powered by Radha Yadav’s fluent 66 and Richa Ghosh’s explosive 44. Gujarat’s reply never fully took off as they were bowled out for 150, despite Bharti Fulmali’s fighting 39. Shreyanka Patil’s five-wicket haul and Lauren Bell’s sharp spell sealed the result, highlighting RCB’s growing depth in both departments.
