Who will win today’s WPL match between RCB-W vs GJ-W?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Gujarat Giants in game 12 of the WPL 2025 on Thursday, February 27.
Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru continue their ongoing WPL 2025 campaign by taking on Gujarat Giants at the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, in game 12 on Thursday, February 27. The last time these two sides faced each other was in the season opener at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, which the Smriti Mandhana-led side won by six wickets.
With two wins and two losses, the defending champions find themselves in the second position in the standings. Though the side had a brilliant start, winning back-to-back games, they have suffered disappointing losses in their previous two games against, Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz, respectively. The Bengaluru side has their last two games left at their home venue and will look to make the most of the remaining games.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants sit in fifth and last place in the standings with one win in four matches. The Ashleigh Gardner-led team’s campaign has been terrible, and they will aim to improve with a win and hopefully climb the standings, staying in the race for the playoffs. Their sole victory came against the UP-based team.

Pitch Report
The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has so far seen balanced contests, favoring both batters and bowlers. With good pace and bounce, batters can play their shots at will, especially in the powerplay and middle overs. However, bowlers who use variations, whether pacers with slower balls or spinners with flight, have found success. The surface offers some help to seamers, making early wickets in the powerplay crucial. Bowling first remains an advantage, but batters who time the ball well will enjoy batting.

BLR-W vs GJ-W Predicted playing XIs
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women:
Smriti Mandhana (c), Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Ellyse Perry, Raghvi Bist, Richa Ghosh (w), Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, Kim Garth, Sneh Rana, Ekta Bisht, Renuka Singh Thakur

BLR-W vs GJ-W Probable Best performers
Probable best batter:
Ellyse Perry could be the best batter in her side’s upcoming game against the Gujarat-based franchise. With 235 runs in her last four matches, Perry has been in good form and is currently the highest run-scorer in WPL 2025. She is coming off an impressive knock of 90* runs against UP Warriorz Women in a losing cause and will be keen on piling up the runs even further in the next game.
Probable best bowler:
Pacer Kashvee Gautam could be the best bowler in her side’s next fixture game against the defending champions. With five wickets in her last four games, the 21-year-old is currently the highest wicket-taker of her side this season. In the last game against the Delhi Capitals, she picked up two wickets and conceded 26 runs. Gautam will be hoping for yet another good outing with the ball.
Mohammed Shami led the pace attack of India from the front in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. After his comeback to professional cricket, 5/53 in the Bangladesh game was one of the key highlights of the game.
