BLR-W vs GJ-W Dream11 Prediction, WPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCB-W) will face Gujarat Giants Women (GG-W) in the 12th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on Thursday, February 27.
The Smriti Mandhana-led RCB-W started the tournament strong with two wins but have suffered back-to-back defeats against Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz. Gujarat Giants Women, on the other hand, have struggled, sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win in four matches. Skipper Ashleigh Gardner and her team must step up if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, with consistent bounce allowing batters to play freely. However, pacers can exploit early movement, and spinners have found success in the middle overs. Chasing has been the preferred choice at this venue, with teams winning three out of five matches while batting second. The match is expected to be played under cloudy skies, with temperatures around 22°C. There is no significant threat of rain, making it a full game without interruptions.
RCB-W have been dominant with the bat, thanks to Ellyse Perry’s consistency and Smriti Mandhana’s explosive starts. However, their recent form has dipped, with the middle order struggling. Georgia Wareham has been effective with the ball, while Renuka Singh Thakur needs to improve her powerplay performance.
Gujarat Giants need a turnaround as they sit last in the standings. Ashleigh Gardner has been their best player, contributing with both bat and ball. Deandra Dottin has shown glimpses of brilliance but needs to be more consistent.
