In the 12th game of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will play Gujarat Giants at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on February 27 at 7:30 PM IST. RCB will try to recover from their most recent Super Over loss to UP Warriorz, as they now sit fourth in the standings with two victories and two defeats, totaling four points, while the Giants sit at the bottom of the standings with just two points after losing to the Delhi Capitals by six wickets in their most recent game.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru got their campaign underway in thumping fashion, winning their opening match against the Giants by chasing a record 201 runs, and followed that with another clinical win, defeating the Delhi Capitals by eight wickets, chasing down 146 in 16.2 overs. However, they faltered in subsequent games, losing to the Mumbai Indians by four wickets and then to the UP Warriorz in an exciting Super Over.
Gujarat Giants lost to RCB by six wickets in the season opener, but they recovered to defeat UP Warriorz by six wickets in their second game of the 2025 WPL. They have, however, struggled ever since, losing one game after another and are at the bottom of the points table. They lost by five wickets to the Mumbai Indians after failing to defend 120 runs. They fell by six wickets after their batting crumbled once more against the Delhi Capitals in their most recent game, setting a below average 127 that was easily chased down.
Head-to-Head:
In their five WPL face-offs so far, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Giants have had healthy competition, with RCB winning three and the Giants two. In the WPL 2025 season opener in Vadodara, their most recent match, RCB chased down 202 to win by six wickets with nine balls left. With a game-winning hit of 64* off 27 balls, Richa Ghosh led RCB to a record chase. Their next meeting promises to be another thrilling clash, with Gujarat seeking payback.
