Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will battle it out against Uttar Pradesh Warriorz (UP) in match nine of the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL). Both teams have had contrasting starts to their campaigns. While RCB have lost just one game in three games played so far, UP have won just one game in three matches played so far. UP cannot afford any more slip-ups if they want to keep their playoff hope alive.
A win against DC in the last game should give UP a lot of confidence. Bowling has never been a concern for the side as they have a lot of skillful bowlers like Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, and Alana King. However, batting has looked off-color, and it is here where UP needs to step up.
For RCB, it is the bowling that has been a major letdown. Spin bowling is looking weak for the team, and they need their backup players, like Kanika Ahuja and Ekta Bisht to come good.
