WPL 2026: Shivani Handed Debut As GG Elect To Bowl First Against Unbeaten RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Shivani Singh has been handed her debut in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 as Gujarat Giants (GG) won the toss and elected to bowl first against the unbeaten Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a clash at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday.
RCB have won their first two games, while GG are seeking a win after suffering their first defeat of the season. Both sides are level on four points, and a win for either of them will get them the top spot in the points table.
After winning the toss, Gujarat Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner said Shivani comes in the playing eleven in place of Ayushi Soni. “I think nothing really changes for us in terms of process. Over the last couple of games, it’s shown that it’s a used wicket. With a harder ball, the spinners do get a little bit out of it as well. For our bowling group, it’s about taking early wickets and then trying to restrict them to a chaseable total.
