WPL 2024, GG vs RCB HIGHLIGHTS: Gujarat Beat Bangalore To Get Off The Mark On Points Tally

WPL 2024, GG vs RCB HIGHLIGHTS: Gujarat dominated Bangalore and in the end tasted their first win of the season.

Background

WPL 2024, GG vs RCB SCORE LIVE: Gujarat Giants (GG) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 12 of Women's Premier League at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. While Gujarat currently find themselves at the bottom of the points table and are yet to get off the mark on the table with 0 wins from 4 matches, Bangalore are having a much-improved season after 3 wins from 5 games and currently sit at the second place on the table behind Delhi Capitals who have 8 points and tied on points with Mumbai Indians but with a better net run rate (NRR).All in all this looks set to be a humdinger of a clash with Gujarat desperate for a win and Bangalore well aware that this could be a slippery slope and one defeat can quickly change into a string of defeats making the Playoff qualification equation all the more tricky. It would also be the first match in Delhi and Gujarat would hope for a change in fortunes, especially considering the form they have had not only in this season but in this tournament as a whole. Bangalore, though, would be upbeat given the way their star players have performed so far.Probable Playing 11s:GG: Beth Mooney, Laura Wolvaardt, Phoebe Litchfield, Veda Krishnamurthy, Ash Gardner, Dayalan Hemalatha, Katherine Bryce, Tanuja Kanwer, Sneh Rana, Mannat Kashyap, Meghna SinghRCB: Smriti Mandhana, S Meghana, Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh, Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham, Simran Bahadur, Shreyanka Patil, S Asha, Renuka Thakur
