GJ-W vs BLR-W Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s WPL 2025 1st Match between Gujarat Giants Women vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women?
WPL 2025 opener: Gujarat Giants face defending champions RCB Women on Feb 14, aiming for a strong start under new leadership
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 kicks off with opening match between Gujarat Giants Women (GJ-W) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (BLR-W) on February 14th at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Both teams will be looking to start their campaign with a win, setting the tone for the tournament.
Gujarat Giants had a disappointing campaign last season, finishing at the bottom of the table. However, with a fresh approach and new leadership, they will be eager to turn things around. Ashleigh Gardner, who recently delivered a stellar performance in the Women’s Ashes, will be a key player for Gujarat, contributing with both bat and ball. Their batting unit will need to step up if they want to challenge the defending champions.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (BLR-W) enter the tournament as the defending champions, high on confidence. They have a strong squad with a mix of experienced and young players. Ellyse Perry, last season’s leading run-scorer, will once again be the backbone of their batting lineup. With a well-balanced squad featuring all-rounders and reliable bowlers, they look like a formidable force.

Pitch Report
The pitch at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara is known for being challenging for batters, with an average first-innings score of 121 runs. Early on, pacers can extract some movement, but as the game progresses, spinners become the dominant force, making stroke-making difficult. The surface tends to slow down, offering significant turn, which puts batters under pressure. Given these conditions, teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first, capitalizing on the slightly better batting conditions early before the pitch starts to deteriorate and favor bowlers even more.
