Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Giants Betting Odds

We have done proper research for you to find out the best betting odds available in the market to simplify your research for the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League, set to take place on Saturday.

RCB to score over 45.5 runs @ 1.81 (Melbet)

Royal Challengers Bangalore have gone for an aggressive approach in batting and currently have the 2nd most runs as a team in the WPL 2023. Now Devine and Perry are the two best batters in the side after they played five matches in the tournament. Further, Gujarat Giants' bowlers have been heavily struggling to control the flow of runs while bowling in WPL 2023, which has been a cause of concern with the batting unit coming into form. Apart from Ashleigh Gardner, none of the GG bowlers have managed to maintain an economy rate of below 8 and have been conceding way too many runs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Giants Best Batters

Perry to be RCB’s best batter (Melbet)

After an average start to the season in the first three matches, all-rounder Ellyse Perry has stepped up with the bat with consecutive fifties in the last two matches for RCB. Moreover, Ellyse Perry is currently the 2nd highest run-getter in WPL, only behind Meg Lanning. Perry has been quite identical in scoring against pace and spin. However, she has been dismissed twice against spin as compared to once by spin and hence averages a lot more against spin in WPL 2023.

Wolvaardt to be GG’s best batter (Melbet)

After a duck in her first innings, Wolvaardt was brought in by Gujarat in place of underperforming Annabel Sutherland and the South African repaid the trust as she smacked 57 runs in the last match at a strike rate of 127. Wolvaardt has been in excellent form in WT20s and has etched a fifty in four out of the last five innings.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Giants Best Bowlers

Shobana to be RCB’s best bowler (Melbet)

RCB spinner Asha Shobana has stepped up with the ball in the last two matches and has managed 2 wickets each. The bowler has breathed life into the RCB bowling unit with her economical and wicket-taking spell. Moreover, the spinner has an excellent domestic record, where she has grabbed 27 wickets in 21 matches while maintaining an excellent economy of 4.

Gardner to be GG’s best bowler (Melbet)

Ashleigh Gardner has picked up nine wickets with the ball in six innings. However, she has been expensive in her exploits with an economy rate of 8.6. Gardner was the top wicket-taker in the reverse fixture against RCB where she grabbed three important wickets – Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, and Kanika Ahuja.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Royal Challengers Bangalore

We stand clearly with what Melbet thinks so. From the logical standpoint, it makes sense that we back Gujarat Giants to make the day count. Royal Challengers Bangalore have gone for an aggressive approach in batting and currently have the second most runs as a team in the WPL 2023. However, they have lost way too many wickets and in fact, have lost more wickets than any other team in the WPL 2023. To add to it, their strike rate and the run rate have also been average due to the lack of prominent batters and hence, are bottom placed with 5 defeats in 6 matches. Hence, it is paramount we go with the team with the most balance.

RCB to win @ 1.91 (Melbet)

GG to win @ 2.01 (Melbet)
