UPW-W vs RCB-W Match 18 Predicted Game Changers
Tahlia McGrath (UPW)
- A talented player who boasts 20 wickets in her 29 T20I innings but has been in poor form in WPL 2025
- her right-arm spin can be crucial in stifling the run-flow and can also break partnerships. Can come in handy too with the bat in the lower order.
Kim Garth (RCB)
- Garth boasts raw pace with the ball and has 59 wickets in T20Is. Having not been at her best this WPL, she has the potential to turn the tables.
- Her inswinger and outswingers can deceit the batters and Garth can prove to be major partnership breakers with this ability. She is also a decent tail-ender who can revive the team in clutch situations.
Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium tends to favour spinners, offering a slow and low surface with plenty of turns to work with. Batters might struggle to play their shots freely on this track. So far, the pitch has been fairly balanced, providing opportunities for both batters and bowlers. However, with relatively modest scores in the last two games, it seems to offer a bit more for the batters than expected.
