GJ-W vs BLR-W 3rd ODI Preview

The Gujarat Giants will be desperate to a good show in the tournament, this year. In the first two editions of the WPL, the Giants have finished at the last spot and are the only team yet to have not played in the play-offs. Ashleigh Gardner will be leading the side this year and the Australian all-rounder will be eager to turn the tables around.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been on the opposite side of the spectrum in the first two seasons of the tournament. While they finished at the second last position in the points table in the inaugural season, the Smriti Mandhana-led side managed to win the tournament in the second edition, last year. They will be eager to defend the title this year and win the trophy for two consecutive years.

Pitch Report - The pitch at the Kotambi Stadium is expected to be a good one for batting. No recent T20 games have been played here. But for a reference we can look at the last ODI match between India and West Indies, that was hosted by the venue. India scored more than 350 runs and the track looked like a belter. We can expect much of the same in this game, too.
