Gujarat Giants (GG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are going to face off in the sixth match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023. Both teams are looking for a win and are fighting for it. The match is scheduled to take place on March 8 at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.
The expectations have not been met by RCB yet. Despite the fact that they are major areas of strength for paper, the Illustrious Challengers affect the field.
On the other hand, the Giants did a good job of coming back from a big loss to the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the season opener. They reduced the opposition to 105-7 while defending a 169-run total against the UP Warriorz (UPW), and they found themselves in a strong position before a valiant effort from Grace Harris brought the Warriorz home.
In the competition, neither GGT nor RCB has yet to win. As a result, the battle between the two will be a great one because both teams will be trying to outdo each other in order to get their first win, which has been elusive.
The Brabourne Stadium has seen a lot of high-scoring games, and it is expected to be a batting-friendly surface again tonight. In light of this, the three batters who are most likely to score runs in today’s WPL match between GGT and RCB are as follows:
3 Ellyse Perry – RCB
Ellyse Perry, RCB’s most notable acquisition from overseas, has not yet ignited the WPL. Notwithstanding, she searched in extraordinary touch during her 31-run thump against the Capitals prior to passing up a great opportunity in the past apparatus due to a run-out.
Fans may see the “Ellyse Perry show” tonight as the six-time winner of the Women’s T20 World Cup is determined to make an impression during the competition.
2 Harleen Deol – GGT
For the past few years, Harleen Deol has been a part of India’s white-ball setup and has shown signs of brilliance on the international stage.
In their previous match against UPW, the young right-hander of Punjabi descent scored 46 runs off 32 balls to lead Gujarat. Despite wickets falling from the opposing end, she maintained the innings for her team.
On Wednesday, Deol will want to improve on her performance and move one step further.
1 Smriti Mandhana – RCB
Continuously a great possibility to sparkle with the bat, Smriti Mandhana is one more player who hasn’t reported herself in the marquee competition. Mandhana started both games she played for RCB, scoring 35 and 23, but she didn’t score a lot.
However, the RCB captain will have a fresh chance to assert her authority and lead her team from the front in the match against Gujarat. It wouldn’t be surprising if the southpaw takes the GGT bowlers to the cleaners in Mumbai, given her recent hot form for her national team.
