The Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women are all set to face the heat against UP Warriorz Women for their second clash in WPL 2026. The match is scheduled for January 12 at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB-W will be riding on a high after bagging a miracle win against Mumbai Indians Women in their campaign opener on January 9. After the win, the Smriti Mandhana-led side is now eyeing for a second win over the Meg-Lanning-led side.

UP Warriorz, however, had a poor start to their campaign. The new captain of the team found her team to be dismantled by the Gujarat Giants Women in their first clash as they lost by 10 runs.

If looked at the head-to-head stats, RCB-W have a slight advantage with 3 wins from 6 matches, as UPW won 2 and one match ended in a tie. With the competition spiced up, the teams will be eager to take on each other in the upcoming battle.

The pitch at Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai has a significant assist for batters. In the last few WPL 2026 matches, totals shot up to 200+, which means hard hitting is the mantra for the pitch.

Pacers get early help with spinners coming into the play later. With dew factors likely to influence, teams winning the toss might like to bat first, given the track record of the pitch in this season of the tournament.

Conclusion

The match between RCB and UP Warriorz will be likely uninterrupted by weather conditions. Though visibility will be a bit hazy, the field of view will be clear to play without any chance of rainfall.

As far as the pitch is concerned, the surface at the Dr DY Patil Stadium is expected to remain in favour of the batters as seen in most of the matches this season. The seamers will get more assistance with spinners getting their chance later in the play.

Though the ground favours WPL teams chasing, given the recent trend of match winners, the team batting first would likely win the match.
