Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants: Women's Premier League 2025 is starting today i.e. 14th February. Its opening match will be played between defending champion Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants from 7.30 pm. Many big names of women's cricket will be seen in this match to be held in Vadodara. On one side there will be star players like Bangalore captain Smriti Mandhana and Alice Perry. On the other hand, star players like Shubman Gill's friend Harleen Deol, Ashley Gardner and Deandra Dottin will challenge him. Now it has to be seen who will win.

Smriti Mandhana is in great form. She has also won the title for her team last season. Therefore, she will enter with confidence. But Gujarat Giants captain and Australian player Ashleigh Gardner can become a problem for her. Gardner has always dominated Mandhana. The RCB captain's record against her has not been good and she has been out many times in T20 and ODI. Therefore, a tough competition can be seen between the two.

Apart from these two players, everyone's eyes will be on Bengaluru's Alice Perry and Gujarat's Harleen Deol. Both are important players of their respective teams. Perry is returning from injury. She played an important role in helping Bengaluru win the title last season. Harleen, who plays at number 3 for Gujarat, scored a century after returning to international cricket from injury. That too in the 1000 overs.

GG finished at the bottom of the WPL table in the previous season as they won only two wins from their eight league matches. Following successive wooden spoon finishes, the Gujarat Giants have removed Beth Mooney as their captain and appointed Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner as team’s new skipper.
