WPL 2024, RCB vs GG LIVE SCORE: Match number 5 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is all set to be played between Gujarat Giants (GG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday (February 27). The two teams had finished at the bottom of the points table last season, with very little differentiating the two. Both sides, consequetly, finished fourth and fifth in the five-team table with RCB’s better net run rate implying they remain at the number four place.
In the ongoing season, it has been a contrasting start for both the sides although only four matches have happenedso far. While Bangalore managed to beat UP Warriorz in their first match in what was a last-ball finish, Gujarat Giants succumbed to a 5-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians (MI). Gujarat would now have a chance to get off the mark on the points table as they remain one of the two teams yet to taste a win with UP Warriorz being the other, having lost each of their two matches in the tournament so far.
To make matters for Gujarat Giants, the crowd support will be massively tilted in favour of RCB who will play at their home. Those that don the GG jersey in the stands will be among the minority. That sets up the stage perfectly for Bangalore though, who will want to use that crowd to their advantage and play a fearless brand of cricket against a team which will be under pressure, having already finished at the last place in 2023 and losing the first game of the brand new season as well.
That makes it for an interesting fixture on the cards in WPL 2024.
