As the Women's Premier League 2026 shifts to its second location, the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, the stage is set for an intense match. The league leaders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), take on the tenacious Gujarat Giants (GG) in the 12th game of the season. The Giants are trying to get back on track after a lacklustre start to the season, while RCB has a perfect record going into this match.

The juggernaut led by Smriti Mandhana is currently unstoppable. They have won four of their last four games by striking a mix between disciplined bowling and aggressive batting. They are the team to beat thanks to Mandhana's form (166 runs) and the bowling prowess of Lauren Bell and Nadine de Klerk (8 wickets apiece). Captain Ashleigh Gardner is in charge of a team that hasn't been consistent but has shown flashes of brilliance. Sophie Devine, who is presently in the top 5 for both most runs (141) and most wickets (8) this season, has been their best player when playing against her old team.

BCA Stadium Pitch Report:

The traditional black-soil field at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi is essentially a batter's heaven. Stroke-makers can play through the line with confidence because of its reliable, genuine bounce and strong carry. Pacers may have a little lateral movement with the new ball, but the surface usually flattens out fast. Spinners may find some grip as the game goes on, but the heavy dew that is predicted for the evening will probably negate their threat, making it harder to grip and giving the side batting second the advantage. As a result, the captain who wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
