GG vs RCB Highlights, Women’s Premier League: RCB hammered Gujarat Giants by 61 runs to extend their unbeaten run to five, seal playoff qualification, and confirm a top-three finish in the WPL. It marked another dominant outing with the ball, as Sayali Satghare stood out with three wickets as RCB became the first team to book a knockout berth. Gautami Naik’s maiden WPL fifty, a composed 73, laid the foundation as Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a competitive 178/6. Richa Ghosh, Radha Yadav and Shreyanka Patil chipped in with brisk cameos at the death to add the finishing touches. Sophie Devine halted Richa Ghosh’s late flourish, and Gautami Naik followed soon after, deepening RCB’s troubles. The sudden double blow has made a 180-plus total look increasingly out of reach. Ashleigh Gardner tightened Gujarat Giants’ grip by dismissing Smriti Mandhana, compounding RCB’s early setbacks. Amid the pressure, Gautami Naik stood tall, batting with composure as she inched closer to her fifty. Gujarat Giants’ fast bowlers made early inroads, rattling RCB at the start. Grace Harris and Georgia Voll were dismissed in quick succession, putting the pressure firmly on Bengaluru in the opening overs.
Gujarat Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner won the toss and elected to bowl against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Vadodara. Anushka Sharma returned to the Giants’ XI, while RCB fielded an unchanged side.

With both the bat and ball firing, they have asserted their dominance over the competition, leaving opponents struggling to keep up. Strong team balance, consistent contributions from key players, and a clear game plan have made RCB a formidable side this season.

On the other hand, the Gujarat Giants have had a mixed campaign so far, recording two wins and two losses.

Their last outing was against RCB, where they struggled to match the champions and went down by 32 runs. The team will need to regroup and find rhythm if they hope to challenge the unbeaten RCB side and climb higher in the tournament standings.
The highlight for RCB has been skipper Smriti Mandhana’s return to form, as she played a match-defining 96 against Delhi Capitals in their commanding eight-wicket victory on Saturday.
Opener Grace Harris has provided solid starts in all four matches but has yet to convert them into big scores, while Georgia Voll stepped up with an unbeaten 54 when it mattered.
RCB’s batting line-up is strong and well-rounded, featuring hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh, all-rounders Nadine de Klerk and Gautami Naik, and Radha Yadav, giving the team depth and firepower across the order.
