It is the battle of the two bottom-placed teams in Match 6 of the WPL 2023 – between Gujarat Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, on Wednesday.
GG, who are without their initial captain Beth Mooney, lost their two matches to MI, by 143 runs, and UPW, by 3 wickets; RCB have been as much worse, especially their bowling – losing to DC by 60 runs and vs MI by 9 wickets.
Well, at least one team will open their account today. The other, though, will be facing an early exit bar a miraculous turnaround.
RCB vs GG WPL 2023: In this article, we will look at the Dream 11 Fantasy team, Dreamm 11 fantasy tips, probable playing XIs, and Match prediction
Pitch report of Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai:
The Brabourne is a batting friendly-venue, or as been constructed for the women’s matches. The pitch is good for playing strokes, the ball comes off the surface nicely, and the boundaries are short, especially the straight ones.
There is little help for the spinners, and also for pacers who can use cutters and bowl back of length as Tara Norris did in her five-wicket haul.
Since it is a night game, batting second will be preferred here because of the dew factor
RCB vs GG Playing XIs:
GG are likely to stick to the same XI that ran UPW close in a last-over thriller.
GG Probable XI: Sabbhineni Meghana, Sophia Dunkley, Sushma Verma (wk), Ashleigh Gardner, Dayalan Hemalatha, Annabel Sutherland, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana (c), Kim Garth, Mansi Joshi, Tanuja Kanwar
RCB may opt to make the bold call and drop the out-of-form Sophie Devine and replace her with Dane van Niekerk, the former South-African skipper and their top-order batter who can bowl leg-spin. RCB can also ring in some changes in the local bowling department.
RCB Probable XI: Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Disha Kasat, Richa Ghosh(w), Heather Knight, Kanika Ahuja/Sahana Pawar, Megan Schutt, Shreyanka Patil/Komal Zanzad, Preeti Bose, Renuka Thakur Singh
WPL 2023 RCB vs GG Match Prediction:
We are predicting the Gujarat Giants to win their first match by defeating RCB, whose bowling looks really lackluster, bereft of quality (bar Megan Schutt) and variety. Their also don’t have depth in their batting.
WPL RCB vs GG Dream 11 fantasy tips and team for today’s match:
The most important fantasy tip for today is not make Mandhana your C/VC because of the presence of two quality off-spinners in GG in Garnder and Rana.
Gardner and Perry are the safest C and VC options in this game for small leagues.
You may drop Ranuka Singh for an extra batter because of the lack of help for swing bowlers at this venue. You may also drop Sneh Rana if GG bowls second because of the dew factor.
RCB vs GG dream XI team today’s match for small leagues:
Tip: Replace Sneh Rana with Dunkley if GG bowl second.
