GUJ-W vs BLR-W Pitch Report: The first match of the Women's Premier League 2025 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants will be held at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. No professional T20 match has been organized on this ground yet. It has hosted only three women's ODIs so far, when India Women played against West Indies in December last year. If we look at the series, then the batsmen will get a lot of opportunities to play at the Kotambi Stadium. In the first match of that series, India scored 314 runs, while in the second match they scored 358 runs. The pitch was also balanced for the bowlers, as both fast bowlers and spinners got a lot of help. Fast bowler Renuka Thakur took the highest number of 10 wickets in the series, followed by spinner Deepti Sharma with 9 wickets. Therefore, the pitch is expected to be balanced, where batsmen as well as bowlers are expected to get good help.
If we look at it in terms of a T20 match, then looking at the pitch in Vadodara, both the teams can win the toss and decide to bowl first because the pitch can help the bowlers in the beginning. The team playing first will be eyeing a score above 150, because it can be easy to chase a target with a score lower than that.
The first match of TATA WPL will be played between Ujrajat Giants Women vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women on Friday, 14th February 2025 in Vadodara, India. The weather will be clear during the match. The temperature is expected to be around 22 degrees Celsius on the match day, with 60% humidity and 10.2 km/h wind speed. And the visibility is 10 km.
