Pitch Report
The first match of WPL 2025 was played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, where the surface seemed to be a lot more in favour of the batters. But, as the tournament progressed to the fifth encounter of the season, it is likely to assist bowlers more than the initial clashes. Hence, batters will find it more difficult to score runs. The game on Tuesday looks similar and the bowlers have high chances to dominate the game. Teams winning the toss might opt to bat first in order to utilize the initial batting conditions in the beginning.

Probable best batter: Ashleigh Gardner
Skipper Ashleigh Gardner has been one of the best performers for GJ Women in the WPL. She smashed 79 runs off just 37 deliveries. Her fiery knock was laced with eight sixes and three fours, respectively. Considering her sublime form Gujarat will definitely hope to see their leader leading from the front with the bat as well in the upcoming WPL 2025 fixture.
Probable Best bowler: Amelia Kerr
Amelia Kerr has proven herself as a great bowler and the conditions in Vadodara are more likely to suit her style of game. The star right arm-leg spinner’s classic 21/2 in the previous WPL match will be the one to watch out for in the upcoming encounter where she may prove to be the ultimate difference between the two sides.
