Earlier in the match against UP Warriorz, RCB captain Mandhana seemed to have found form, coming to within four runs of scoring the first century of the WPL’s history in 61-ball innings. Almost every component of the RCB squad seems to be in good form as well, whether it be the batters or the bowlers. RCB would also take confidence from their 32-run win over GG in their first face-off this season at Navi Mumbai two days ago.

RCB vs GG Squads:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Grace Harris, Smriti Mandhana(c), Georgia Voll, Richa Ghosh(w), Gautami Naik, Nadine de Klerk, Radha Yadav, Prema Rawat, Shreyanka Patil, Sayali Satghare, Lauren Bell, Dayalan Hemalatha, Arundhati Reddy, Linsey Smith, Pooja Vastrakar, Prathyoosha Kumar

Gujarat Giants: Beth Mooney(w), Sophie Devine, Kanika Ahuja, Ashleigh Gardner(c), Georgia Wareham, Kashvee Gautam, Bharti Fulmali, Tanuja Kanwer, Shivani Singh, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Renuka Singh Thakur, Ayushi Soni, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Kim Garth, Anushka Sharma, Titas Sadhu, Happy Kumari
