Both the teams are equal on paper and form. However, Royal Challengers Women should start favorites to win this match against Gujarat Giants Women.
Ellyse Perry: Ellyse Perry is currently the second highest run scorer in the tournament so far. She has 205 runs at an average of 41 in six games. In addition, she is coming on the back of a brilliant bowling performance against UP in the last game taking three wickets in her spell.
Ashleigh Gardner: Ashleigh Gardner is another safe captaincy choice ahead of this match. The star all-rounder scored a brilliant half century in the last game and is currently the fourth highest wicket taker in the tournament with 9 wickets.
Sophie Devine: Sophie Devine scored a brilliant half century last time these two sides met. She will be another top differential pick considering her batting position at the top and her bowling abilities as well.
Smriti Mandhana: Smriti Mandhana is having a terrible season in the WPL. The star Indian opener has performed way below expectations. However, she is too good a player to stay quiet for this long.
Tanuja Kanwer: Tanuja Kanwer will be another great differential pick for this game. The conditions of the pitch will only help her bowling style.
Sophia Dunkley: Sophia Dunkley has not performed to her potential except that one half century against RCB earlier in the tournament. It is advisable to keep her out of the XI for this match.
