GG-W vs RCB-W Dream11 Prediction WPL: The excitement is high as the Women’s Premier League (WPL) kicks off its third season. The defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB-W), will take on Gujarat Giants (GG-W), who finished fifth last season, in the opening match of WPL 2025.
Gujarat Giants’ Struggles in WPL
Gujarat Giants have had a tough time in the WPL so far. Out of five teams, three qualify for the playoffs, but GG-W have never made it past the group stage. In both seasons, they finished last (fifth place). This time, they spent big in the WPL auction, bringing in new players and making major changes to the squad. It will be interesting to see if these changes help them perform better, starting with a win against the champions.
RCB Women’s Journey to Glory
RCB has been a famous cricket brand for 17 years, but it was the women’s team that won their first-ever trophy last season in WPL 2024. The men’s team has been trying to win the IPL title for years, but the women’s squad achieved the feat first. Now, with a strong team of Indian and international stars, RCB-W will aim to defend their title and win the championship again in 2025.
