Toss Royal Challengers Bangalore He chose to bowl against Gujarat Giants
The result of the toss sent the local audience into a frenzy. Mandhana confirmed that there are no changes in RCB's squad from the first match which saw them beat UP Warriors in a last-ball thriller.
„It's always good to know what you're chasing in T20 cricket,” said Mandana on the toss. „Killos finishes are always good to win. We have to keep things simple and go out and play our best brand of cricket.”
Gujarat Giants, last season's wooden spooners, had a lackluster start to WPL 2024 where they went down heavily to Mumbai Indians. Despite failure, they stuck to the same composition and remained unchanged. That means there is still no place for Laura Wohlwart in the playing XI.
Mooney said his team is not overwhelmed by the crowd and wants to embrace it. „We have to trust the method and not worry about the results,” he said.
It was the pitch used for the match between UP Warriors and Delhi Capitals on Monday. The pacers had a little help early on.
A win will help RCB climb to the top of the table, while the Giants hope to top the group.
