Fantasy tips for match 12 of the WPL 2025 between RCB Women and Gujarat Giants Women.
The bottom-placed Gujarat Giants will take on the defending champions RCB Women in match no. 12 of the WPL 2025. The match will be hosted at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Smriti Mandhana’s side started the season with two wins before losing twice in a row. They went down against UP Warriorz in the previous game in a Super over finish. Ellyse Perry hammered an unbeaten 90 off 56 to power them to 180 but bowlers could not defend 47 off 22. RCB then lost the Super over, failing to get 9 runs.
With just one win and three losses, Gujarat Giants are reeling at the bottom of the league standings. They are coming off a six-wicket defeat in the last game against Delhi Capitals. A top order collapse reduced them to 60/6 before Bharti Fulmali made 40 not-out in 29 balls to help them reach 129. The total, however, wasn’t enough on a good batting surface.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women: Smriti Mandhana (c), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh (wk), Raghvi Bist, Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, Sneh Rana, Kim Garth, Ekta Bisht, Renuka Singh

Bengaluru is a venue where batters have had a lot of success over the years. The pitches here are generally flat, with fast outfield aiding batters further. As many as 15 WPL matches have been hosted in Bengaluru and the average batting first score stands at 155. The chasing teams have claimed nine out of 15 games, so expect the toss-winner to field first.
The weather forecast suggests it could be partly cloudy on Thursday evening but rain shouldn’t be a concern. The temperature is likely to be around 21 degree Celsius.
