The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 season will kick off with an exciting clash between Gujarat Giants and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The match will take place on February 14 at the Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara.

RCB, led by Smriti Mandhana, will enter the tournament with confidence after winning their maiden WPL 2024 title. They have a strong squad featuring international stars like Ellyse Perry, along with emerging Indian talents such as Richa Ghosh and Shreyanka Patil. Their well-balanced team, which blends experience with young talent, makes them a tough side to beat.

On the other hand, Gujarat Giants, captained by Beth Mooney, will be looking to turn things around this season. They had a tough time in WPL 2024, finishing at the bottom of the points table with only 2 wins from 8 matches. However, the team has retained key players like Ashleigh Gardner and Phoebe Litchfield, along with some promising domestic talents who will be eager to make an impact.

Before the season opener, let’s take a look at how these two teams have performed against each other in past WPL encounters.
