Gujarat Giants Defeat RCB by Six Wickets in WPL 2025

In a crucial match of the Women's Premier League 2025, Gujarat Giants overcame Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on February 27, marking their first victory of the tournament. RCB struggled with the bat, posting only 125 runs, with Kanika Ahuja top-scoring at 33, while Gujarat's bowlers, led by Tanuja Kanwar and Deandra Dottin, restricted their scoring effectively. Chasing down 126 runs, Gujarat was anchored by captain Ashleigh Gardner's explosive 58 off 31 balls and supported by Phoebe Litchfield's unbeaten 30, who helped steer the team to victory with 3.3 overs to spare. This win ended Gujarat's losing streak and put RCB in a precarious situation, having lost three consecutive matches at home. With two wins from five, RCB will need to reevaluate their strategy moving forward in the tournament. The match highlighted Gardner's leadership and batting prowess, which were pivotal in securing the win for the Giants.
