GG-W vs RCB-W, WPL 2025: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru women and Gujarat Giants women are all set to face off in the first match of the Women's Premier League 2025 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Friday, February 14.

The Smriti Mandhana-led side RCB are the defending champions, having won the WPL title last season with a win over Delhi Capitals in the final.

However, RCB face a tough challenge in retaining their title, with key players from last season such as Sophie Devine, who has taken a break from cricket to "prioritise her well-being", Molineux and Kate Cross (injuries), missing this edition.

Additionally, star all-rounder Ellyse Perry, Shreyanka Patil and Asha Sobhana are also recovering from injuries. Their ability to overcome these setbacks will be crucial in determining whether they can successfully defend their crown.

For Gujarat Giants, Ashleigh Gardner has taken over leadership from fellow Australian Beth Mooney. The Giants have struggled in both the earlier editions, finishing at the bottom each time.

In a bid to turn their fortunes around, they have brought in the experienced Deandra Dottin, young batter Simran Shaikh, and fast bowler Danielle Gibson.
