GG vs RCB, WPL 2026 Live Score: High-flying Smriti Mandhana-led RCB looking for 5th consecutive win vs Gujarat

Gujarat Giants (GG) Vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women Today Match Live Cricket Score Updates: Smriti Mandhana’s high-flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru face Ashleigh Gardner’s Gujarat Giants on Monday. RCB are on a roll, having won four matches on the trot before this game. The Giants, on the other hand, have seen their strong start being scuppered somewhat as they lost their last two games. The Giants had started the season with two successive wins before that.

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.

Before Friday’s contest, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) had relied heavily on individual brilliance to get them over the line in two contrasting wins. Nadine de Klerk’s rescue act against Mumbai Indians and Grace Harris’ blazing knock versus UP Warriorz had masked their middle-order fragility. Against Gujarat Giants (GG), however, it was time for that vulnerability to be tested and under pressure, they, along with Shreyanka Patil, delivered to help beat GG by 32 runs to maintain their winning start in Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026.
