In a high-stakes Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 match, Gujarat Giants beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their home turf. Despite a strong bowling performance from RCB’s Renuka Singh Thakur, a captain’s knock from Ashleigh Gardner and a disciplined bowling effort by GG led to a six-wicket win for the visitors. Former India skipper Anjum Chopra highlighted how the early loss of wickets and a lack of breakthroughs from RCB's bowlers resulted in their defeat. She also praised the depth of talent in the Australian players, as Gardner emerged as the hero for GG in this crucial match.
