RCB vs GG, WPL 2025 highlights: Richa Ghosh shines as Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Gujarat Giants by 6 wickets

Kim Garth (2-0-15-0) is back into the attack.

Prema Rawat to Ash Gardner, Fuller again, outside off, Ash Gardner uses her feet and pushes it to long off for a single to keep the strike.

Prema Rawat to Deandra Dottin, Floated up, outside off, Deandra Dottin steers it to long off for a single.

Deandra Dottin walks in to make her Women's T20 League debut.

Prema Rawat to Beth Mooney, OUT! CAUGHT! Bengaluru have got the much-needed breakthrough as the growing partnership is broken! Prema Rawat gives air to the full ball, just outside off, Beth Mooney goes on her knee and drags it as he sweeps it but doesn't get the elevation and it goes straight to the short mid-wicket fielder where Smriti Mandhana takes it at her knee height. End of a fine knock from Mooney but she will be disappointed to perish just when she really started to shift the gears.

Prema Rawat to Beth Mooney, FOUR! WHAT STELLAR TIMING! Tossed up, outside off, much slower, Beth Mooney dances down the pitch and just lofts it inside out over cover. The ball just lands inside the rope and goes on the bounce.

Prema Rawat to Beth Mooney, Slower through the air, outside off, on the tempting length, Beth Mooney dabs it to backward point.

Prema Rawat to Ash Gardner, Much fuller, almost a yorker, outside off, Ash Gardner drills it to sweeper cover for a single.

Another debutant, Prema Rawat to have a bowl now.

Kanika Ahuja to Ash Gardner, Fuller again, around off, Ash uses her feet and nudges it to mid on for a single.

Kanika Ahuja to Ash Gardner, SIX! THUMPED! Flighted up, around off and middle, slower through the air, Ash Gardner shimmies down the track and launches it over the long on fielder for a biggie.

Kanika Ahuja to Ash Gardner, Good fielding! Floated up, outside off, Ash Gardner comes forward and extends her arms to drive it towards cover as the ball beats the diving cover fielder and goes on. Georgia Wareham runs to her left from long off and makes a dive to her left to save the boundary. Meanwhile, the batters run for a couple as Wareham also makes a direct hit at the bowler's end. The third umpire checks but the batter is comfortably back in her crease.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Tossed up, around off, Mooney dabs it towards point for a single.

Kanika Ahuja to Ash Gardner, Drops it much shorter this time, on the fourth stump, Ash Gardner goes onto the back foot and clears out her front leg to pull it uppishly for a single.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Nagging length, around off, Beth Mooney presses back and drills it back to the bowler who does a midfield and the batters run for a single towards deep square leg.

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, FIFTY for Beth Mooney, the first one of the new season and the fourth of Mooney's Women's T20 League career. Fired in at the legs again, Mooney advances and pushes the ball down to wide long on for a single. She will now look to take this innings deep.

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, FOUR! Beth Mooney just toying with her Aussie teammate now, a hat-trick of boundaries! Fired in full on leg stump, Mooney is quick to sit down and sweeps it firmly past short fine leg for yet another boundary.

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, FOUR! Beth Mooney using all her experience here! Dropped a bit short on middle and leg, Mooney hops back and gets inside the line before just pulling it over backward square leg for another boundary.

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Tossed up, full and outside off, Beth Mooney dances down the pitch and backs away before hammering it to the right of Kanika Ahuja at covers who should have one better. The ball rolls away to the fence.

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, An appeal and given! Beth Mooney has reviewed it right away though. The only thing to probably look out for is whether the ball pitched outside leg or in line of the stumps. Another leg break from Georgia Wareham, tossed up on a nagging length around leg, Mooney gets inside the line to sweep it fine but seems to have missed it and gets hit on the pads. The third umpire is called in and UltraEdge shows a faint inside edge and the decision is changed to NOT OUT! Mooney knew it right away!

Georgia Wareham to Beth Mooney, Nicely tossed up from over the wicket and at the pads, Beth Mooney clips it away into the deep towards deep mid-wicket and looks for two but slips. However, the fielder, Danni Wyatt-Hodge slips as well and the batters do get the second run.

Strategic break! The inning of Gujarat hasn't gone the way as they would have hoped for in their first match of this season but they are placed at 53/2 after the first nine overs. Their skipper has just come into the crease and has joined her counterpart as they both look to continue the strike-rotating for a couple of overs and would love to give a big finish to give their bowlers a good total to defend. On the other hand. Bengaluru have been brilliant on the field in both bowling and fielding. They have bowled tighter lines and lengths and haven't given away much simultaneously picking up two key wickets. An interesting passage of play is ahead of us as to which team will take on the other one. 

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, A bit too short and outside off, Beth Mooney backs away and cuts it firmly but not much to the right of deep point. Just a single then.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Good work from the bowler! Tossed up at the stumps, Mooney comes down the pitch and plays it to the left of the bowler but Kanika Ahuja dives across and makes a fine stop.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, This one is drifted down the leg side, full as well, Mooney laps it straight to short fine leg. Can't quite find the gaps in the field at the moment.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Flatter delivery, targeting the stumps again, Mooney looks to go over covers but mistimes the shot to mid off.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, A nice-looking shot for two! Tossed up on middle, Beth Mooney stays leg side of the ball and plays the inside-out shot wide of long off where Ellyse Perry tidies up and keeps it down to a brace.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Floated up quite full on middle and leg, Beth Mooney brings out the reverse sweep but hits it straight to point.

Joshitha V J to Ash Gardner, Nice and full at the stumps, hint of movement as well, Gardner leans on and just plays it back to the bowler.

Joshitha V J to Ash Gardner, Just short of a good length and around the off stump line, Gardner plays it on the up and gently towards extra cover.

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, Oh, sloppy work in the field but no harm done. Tightens the line and bowls it on a hard length over middle, Mooney dabs it down to covers for a quick single and there is a slight misfield but they don't get the extra run. 50 up for Gujarat!

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, FOUR! Mooney on the charge! Banged in short and around off, Beth Mooney steps down the track and hammers it like a tennis forehand-smash, up and over wide mid-wicket for a boundary.

Joshitha V J to Ash Gardner, Pitches it right up around middle, gets a bit of shape away from the batter as well, Gardner squeezes the attempted drive towards extra cover for a quick single.

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, Bowled on a hard length and outside off, Beth Mooney stands tall and caresses it on the up through covers for one more.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, This is dropped short and around off, Mooney rocks back and cuts it through the point region for a single.

Kanika Ahuja to Ash Gardner, Darted in, full and around off, Ash Gardner gets nicely forward and pushes it down to long off for a single.

The skipper, Ash Gardner is in next.

Kanika Ahuja to Dayalan Hemalatha, OUT! CAUGHT! Dayalan Hemalatha seemed a bit too eager to get going and ends up giving her wicket away. Kanika Ahuja tosses the ball up, wide of the off stump and entices the batter to go after it. Hemalatha comes down the pitch to play the lofted shot but ends up miscuing it straight towards backward point where Prema Rawat takes the catch. Gujarat are now 2 down!

Kanika Ahuja to Dayalan Hemalatha, Good length, in line with the stumps as well, Dayalan Hemalatha blocks this one off.

Kanika Ahuja to Beth Mooney, Tossed up, full and around off, Beth Mooney drives it through covers for a single.

Kanika Ahuja to Dayalan Hemalatha, Oh, this is nervy stuff from Hemalatha! Drops it right into the pitch over off, Hemalatha looks to play it to the leg side but gets a leading edge that lobs up just over the bowler and they pick up a single as well.

Kanika Ahuja to have a bowl now.

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, Excellent start from Joshitha V J, just 2 off the over and Gujarat are 39/1 after the Powerplay. Back of a length and around off, Mooney watchfully pushes it out on the off side.

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, BEATEN! Bowled on a hard length, right around the top of off, and this one holds its line. Beth Mooney comes down the pitch to stroke it through covers but misses.

Joshitha V J to Dayalan Hemalatha, Hard length, wide outside off, tapped away through the point region for a single by Hemalatha.

Joshitha V J to Dayalan Hemalatha, Another swing and a miss! Pulls the length back, keeping it in the channel outside off and taking it away from the batter. Hemalatha steps out to heave across the line but fails to connect.

Joshitha V J to Dayalan Hemalatha, Over the wicket now to the right-hander, bowling it relatively fuller and outside off, swinging away, Dayalan Hemalatha swings across the line but is well beaten.

Joshitha V J to Beth Mooney, Starts from around the stumps to the left-hander and bowls it a bit shorter on the pads, Beth Mooney hangs back and swivel-pulls it away down to deep backward square leg for one.

Debutant, Joshitha V J to bowl the final over of the Powerplay.

Renuka Singh Thakur to Dayalan Hemalatha, Fuller again and outside off, Dayalan Hemalatha finally decides to slog it down the ground but doesn't get the desired elevation. The ball goes over the in-circle and the mid on fielder Smriti Mandhana. They run for a couple.
