UP Warriorz Women celebrating in WPL 2024 (X.com)

For the final WPL 2024 season game of the Bengaluru leg, hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore Women will square off with UP Warriorz on Monday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium from 7.30 PM onwards.

It was a successful first half in M. Chinnaswamy, where a large chunk of the crowd turned up not only for the home team but also for the neutral games. 

Moreover, with RCB-W stepping out for the final time in Bengaluru, a much healthier crowd is expected to turn up for the upcoming game.

UP-W vs RCB-W: Team Previews

UP Warriorz Women

After a couple of initial tough losses, Alyssa Healy led UP-W back to winning ways with an extraordinary win against defending champions MI-W. 

The team thrived on the momentum in the next fixture against GG-W, where the Warriorz yet again delivered a clinical performance, registering a six-wicket win that boosted their net run rate.

That being said, Alyssa Healy’s return to form and Kiran Navgire’s emergence have been the biggest blessings for UP this year. Moreover, Grace Harris unleashed her inner beast against Gujarat to script a 60-run knock-off with a mere 33 deliveries.

Chamari Athapaththu’s addition has only added to the core strength of the lineup, and Healy finally possesses a balanced lineup this WPL 2024 season.

On that note, the upcoming fixture against RCB-W would be a steep challenge for UP-W. They were outclassed already once by the hosts in this tournament, and the quest for redemption will only get tougher.

RCB Women

Royal Challengers Bangalore kicked off the WPL 2024 season campaign on a prolific note with a couple of thumping wins in the midst of majestic crowd support. 

However, despite Ellyse Perry's return, Smriti Mandhana and Co. suffered their second back-to-back loss, which dropped them down to the bottom two spots on the points table.

In the recent loss versus MI-W, the batting unit let down big time. After losing three wickets in the powerplay, RCB-W couldn’t recover from the early setback and ended up with a mere 131 runs on board.

To further add to the misery, MI-W chased down the total inside 16 overs, thus resulting in heavy penalties in the net run rate for RCB. Smriti Mandhana is struggling to get her team through a stressful situation, which is not a good sign as a leader. 

She needs to gather herself and put up a good show for the final time in front of the home crowd, as she’s got the tools to do the same.

UP-W vs RCB-W: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will surely benefit the batters. Due to shorter boundaries, crossing the fence would be relatively easier. However, pacers can make an impact with the new ball. Thus, bowling first is the best option on this surface, with the average first-inning score being around 170 runs.
