RCB-W vs UPW-W Betting Tips
Meg Lanning to score Over 26.5 runs
Meg Lanning remains one of the most reliable batters in the WPL, averaging close to 40 across 28 innings. Opening the batting gives her maximum time at the crease, and her recent form suggests she is seeing the ball well. On a batting-friendly surface, backing Lanning to cross 26.5 runs is a strong value play built on consistency rather than risk.
Highest individual score – Over 61.5
The DY Patil surface traditionally offers true bounce and excellent stroke-making conditions. With both sides featuring quality top-order batters, a big individual innings is very much on the cards. Expect at least one batter to convert a solid start into a match-defining knock.

RCB-W vs UPW-W Team Previews
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women
Royal Challengers Bangalore made an ideal start to their campaign, defeating the defending champions Mumbai Indians in a last-ball thriller. The win not only earned valuable points but also showcased their composure under pressure.
Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris provided a solid foundation at the top in the previous match and will once again be crucial in maximising the powerplay. While RCB may lack big international names in the middle order, they compensate with capable domestic performers such as D Hemalatha, Richa Ghosh, and Prema Rawat.
Nadine de Klerk remains a major asset lower down the order. Her match-winning half-century under pressure and a four-wicket haul against Mumbai underline her all-round value. She will once again be key during the death overs with both bat and ball.
The bowling attack is well-rounded, with Arundhati Reddy and Lauren Bell leading the pace unit, supported by a strong spin trio of Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Linsey Smith.

UP Warriorz Women
UP Warriorz suffered a defeat in their opening match against Gujarat Giants, continuing a trend of inconsistency from last season. While it is still early in the tournament, they will be eager to avoid falling behind in the points table.
Meg Lanning remains the linchpin at the top of the order and will be expected to anchor the innings alongside Kiran Navgire. Phoebe Litchfield impressed with a brisk half-century in the previous match and looks in excellent touch. However, the middle order—comprising Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, and Shweta Sehrawat—needs to offer more stability.
All-rounder Deandra Dottin provides late-order firepower, while the spin attack, led by Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma, is a major strength. That said, the pace department appears relatively inexperienced, which could be exposed on a flat pitch against RCB’s aggressive batting lineup.
UP Warriorz Women Expected Playing 11
Meg Lanning (C), Kiran Navgire, Phoebe Litchfield, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Deandra Dottin, Shikha Pandey, Shweta Sehrawat (WK), Sophie Ecclestone, Kranti Gaud, Asha Sobhana
RCB-W vs UPW-W Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, with dew expected later in the evening making chasing a more attractive option.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai is typically a high-scoring venue with consistent bounce and pace. Batters can play through the line confidently, and the outfield rewards timing. Teams batting first will target a total close to 200. Conditions are expected to remain clear, with pleasant temperatures. Dew later in the match could make bowling more challenging.
RCB-W vs UPW-W: Who Will Win?
Royal Challengers Bangalore look the stronger side on paper and in recent form. Their top order is in rhythm, they possess multiple all-round options, and their bowling attack offers better balance across pace and spin. UP Warriorz, while dangerous on their day, appear lighter in middle-order experience and depth in pace bowling.
Bet on Royal Challengers Bangalore Women to win.
