RCB vs GG, WPL 2025: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru pitch history and T20 records

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to collide with the Gujarat Giants (GG) in Match 12 of the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru would be packed to cheer their local team, led by Smriti Mandhana.

RCB have lost two back-to-back encounters after a superb start to their WPL 2025 campaign. In their last match, RCB lost in a Super Over against UP Warriorz (UPW). However, RCB would take confidence from their previous game against Gujarat, where Richa Ghosh's freakish knock (64* off 27) helped them script down the highest-ever run-chase in WPL history.

As for Gujarat, they are at the bottom of the WPL points table. Can they pull up and complete revenge on RCB? Let us look at the pitch history and WPL records at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
