Gujarat Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Live Score 2024: Gujarat Giants are facing a challenging situation with a four-match winless run in Bengaluru, leaving them with limited options. To salvage their prospects, they must reverse their fortunes and secure victories in all the upcoming games during the Delhi leg. RCB ended the Bengaluru leg on a solid note with a win over UP Warriorz, securing the second spot in the points table with three wins and two losses, which has given them a total of six points. RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana is looking forward to seeing how the crowd in the national capital embraces the WPL, after playing in front of a packed stadium in Bengaluru during the tournament's first leg. Mandhana also heaped praise on her opening partner Sabbhineni Meghana, who has scored 164 runs in five games so far at a strike rate of 120.58. Gujarat Giants captain Beth Mooney admitted the batters have let the side down, as they are now the only side left in the tournament to get off the mark.

The bell has been rung at the Arun Jaitley stadium! We are all set to begin as the umpires walk out to the middle followed by the Bangalore players.
Anjum Chopra is pitchside. She says it's a cool evening in Delhi with some breeze blowing and therefore there won't be any dew in this match. She continues that from the right-handed batter, on off it's 42 meters which is also the shortest side, 64 metres down the ground, and 63 meters on the leg side. She also states that a couple of balls might stay low due to the blackish soil. Ends up saying the groundsmen rolled the pitch pretty well and it's not overused.

We trust the process, the dressing room atmosphere is pretty positive. You can see the intent which has come out. If the process is not right, you won't look at the intent
Nooshin Al Khadeer - Gujarat Giants' bowling coach
Consistency (is what we need). We've been a little bit up and down over the past five games Our good has been pretty good. But when we haven't got it quite right, it's been pretty bad
