Smriti Mandhana and her team will aim for another win as they take on Gujarat Giants Women on Friday at Dr. DY Patil Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB-W have been successful in restricting the opposition to a below-par score in both games. Their bowlers have done well. Especially Lauren Bell, Nadine de Klerk, and Shreyanka Patil. With the bat, Grace Harris, Mandhana, and De Klerk have contributed. GG-W have been pretty good with the bat as well, but their bowlers have leaked runs in all three games, which resulted in a defeat against MI-W.

It is batting paradise in Navi Mumbai, where if you miss your length, batters will hit you out of the park.
