WPL 2024: RCBW vs GGW, Match 5: Match Prediction, H2H, Playing XI.

WPL 2024: RCBW vs GGW: Royal Challengers Bangalore won their opening match, while Gujrat Giants lost their opening match to Mumbai Indians.

WPL 2024: RCBW vs GGW Match Overview

Following all of the setbacks in 2023—when Royal Challengers Bangalore was unable to get through the playoffs of the inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL)—the Smiriti Mandhana-led team strengthened and, astonishingly, began play in the 2024 season. They won the thrilling match against UP Warriorz at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore by a margin of two runs, and they will be sure to win again when they play Gujarat Giants on Tuesday, February 27.

Gujarat Gaints, meanwhile, are weak in weaponry. They have some of the top foreign recruits, like Lea Tuhuhu, Phoebe Litchfield, Ashleigh Gardner, and Beth Mooney, but their Indian quota appears to be a little lower than average. In contrast to Gujarat, who have Veda Krishnamurthy, Harleen Deol, and Dayalan Hemalatha—decent players but far from possessing the title match winner—RCB has players such as Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, Shreyanka Patil, and Renuka Singh.

Gujarat should be encouraged as Tanuja Kanwar proved her value as a bowler as well as a batter. Alongside the foreign players, she will be a significant member of the team versus Bangalore. The Giants would expect something extraordinary from Mooney, Gardner, and Litchfield to win their opening game of the season because they have the ability to change the game’s outcome at any point.

On the other side, RCB will be at ease since Mandhana and Ellyse Perry are usually a safe bet, and youthful Sabbhineni Meghana and Richa were fantastic in the previous game. The bowlers, particularly Asha Sobhana, who became the first Indian cricket player to record a five-for in WPL history, performed an excellent job as well.
