GUJ-W vs BAN-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WPL match between Gujarat vs Bangalore?

Preview

Gujarat Giants are set to lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing WPL 2024 tournament. The Giants find themselves in a precarious position after suffering a defeat at the hands of RCB earlier in the season. Despite boasting a formidable lineup, the Giants have faltered in their batting department, evident from their recent struggles. RCB, on the other hand, has found their stride with a commanding victory in their last match against UP Warriorz. Led by Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry, RCB posted an impressive total of 198 runs, showcasing their batting prowess.

However, the Gujarat Giants’ batting order featuring Beth Mooney, Laura Wolvaardt, Phoebe Litchfield, and Ashleigh Gardner has failed to fire consistently. Their inability to chase down 164 runs in the previous match highlights the pressing issues they face. As the rematch approaches, the Giants must address their batting woes to stand a chance against the resurgent RCB. The clash promises to be an exciting encounter with both teams eager to secure crucial points in the league stage.
