RCB vs GG weather update: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai weather report for WPL 2023 Match 16

An uninterrupted game awaits fans when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with Gujarat Giants (GG) in the 16th game of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday, March 18.

It's a must-win game for GG to remain alive in the competition. They got a much-needed boost in their last game, beating second-placed Delhi Capitals (DC). The bowlers stood up to the task with Ashleigh Gardner starring with the ball, returning with figures of 2/19.

Gujarat will hope to keep the momentum going against RCB as the race for the third spot gets intense from here on.

Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, finally got their first win of the season in their last game against UP Warriorz. However, skipper Smriti Mandhana's dismal form will keep the RCB think-tank on their toes.

They will once again bank on Ellyse Perry and Sophie Devine to do the bulk of the job as Bangalore look to keep their winning run going.
