Gujarat Giants chose Bat vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Despite a lackluster batting performance in the first leg of the WPL in Bengaluru, Gujarat Giants skipper Beth Mooney set a target for Royal Challengers Bangalore in Delhi. After the chase proved tonic in the first half of the match in Bengaluru, he called their result „little but rude” but wanted his team to be „brave” as they go in search of their first win.
RCB are playing their first match away from home after a marginal win at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. They have won three of their five matches, including a tough win against UP Warriors in Monday's farewell match, to finish second in the table. Although Smriti Mandana preferred to bat first, she was confident that the surface would be good for batting till evening. RCB have already won one match in the chase against the Giants this season – last Tuesday when they restricted GG to 107 for 7 in over six overs.
