RCB vs GG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & WPL 2025 Live Streaming

It hasn’t been the homecoming Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) wished for, and come Thursday, the defending champions would be eager to turn things around against bottom-placed Gujarat Giants (GG). This match is a rematch of the run-fest that was the WPL 2025 curtain-raiser.

Both teams are heading into the game after two straight losses. RCB lost to Mumbai Indians in a final-over thriller and then to UP Warriorz in the first-ever WPL Super Over. Despite Ellyse Perry’s outstanding performances, the team has struggled with regular wickets falling and death-over bowling woes.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants have deeper batting concerns, with their top-order failing to fire consistently. Despite their lower-order efforts, they haven’t been able to secure wins. With both teams desperate for a win, expect a high-stakes clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
