Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants Prediction Match 9, WPL 2026

It seems like Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women have overcome the unavailability of Ellyse Perry and have started the WPL 2026 on a positive note. The second season winner has bagged two consecutive wins, and they are looking at the top of the standings with four points. But their top spot will be challenged as they take on Gujarat Giants Women in the next game.

This game will be live at 7:30 PM IST at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy on January 16 (Friday). Grace Harris and Nadine de Klerk have been two great performers for RCB-W. Smriti Mandhana looked good in the previous game. On the other hand, GG-W lost their previous game against Mumbai Indians, and they couldn’t defend a big total of 193. Their bowling has suffered hammering in all three games, and they need a strong comeback to win this game.

RCB-W vs GG-W: Pitch Report

This season has been dominated by the batters. That is where the batting team has enjoyed being here, and big scores have been scored. This flat wicket has nothing in it for the bowlers. Batting conditions will be similar in both innings, which is why bowling first can be a good option.

RCB-W vs GG-W Today’s Match Prediction: In both games, RCB-W have restricted the opposition to a chasable total. That is because of their strategy of going with seven bowling options. But if also weaker their batting option.

They have four specialist batters, and if they fail at the top, it can put them under pressure. GG-W have been excellent with the bat, but their bowlers have been poor. The toss will be important; whoever wins the toss will get an edge. But we believe RCB-W have a good chance of winning this game.
