WPL 2026: Gautami Naik's Maiden Fifty And A Late Blitz From Bowlers Help RCB Post 178/6
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: A commanding maiden fifty in the WPL from Gautami Naik (73) and Richa Ghosh's late burst of 27 helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) reach 178/6 in 20 overs against Gujarat Giants in Match 12 of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Monday.
The RCB ended strong, scoring 17 runs in the final over and 40 runs in the last three overs. This turned a steady innings into a tough challenge for the Gujarat Giants. Earlier, the Giants had dominated the power play but lost their momentum.
RCB suffered an early blow when Renuka Singh Thakur took the wicket of Grace Harris (1) in the first over, and Kashvee Gautam removed Georgia Voll (1) in the following over. Smriti Mandhana and Naik continued to frustrate the Giants through the middle overs, stitching together a vital 60-run partnership that shifted the momentum.
