RCB vs UP Warriorz
UP Warriorz will aim to avoid repeating their fate from last season when they face the reigning WPL champions, Delhi Capitals at Ekana Stadium for their opening game of 2025 World Premier League (WPL). Last season began disastrously for them when they lost big against Delhi Capitals but this time around will look to avoid that mistake and begin strong against Ekana Stadium’s opposition.
Smriti Mandhana and her team hope to break from the trend of poor starts to tournaments by performing strongly across all departments in order to secure victory in their inaugural match of 2019.
Kim Garth, Renuka Singh and Ellyse Perry will play major roles for RCB when they face off against UP Warriorz at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
UPW’s batting unit hasn’t met expectations this season. But their bowlers have done an admirable job of picking up wickets regularly; Sneh Rana took three while Chinelle Henry and Deepti Sharma both claimed one wicket each.
Georgia Voll has been in tremendous form so far this tournament, scoring an unbeaten 99 in just 68 balls to become the highest scorer and career best for Warriorz Opener 1. Her ability to stay patient on bouncy decks while using brute arm strength to open up gaps at backward points region is her biggest strength.
RCB captain Sarah Wilson has proven herself a formidable batswoman thus far in this year’s tournament, amassing 566 runs from five matches with an average over 80. Her ability to hit big sixes from anywhere on the pitch and her deceptively powerful hitting strokes make her virtually impossible to dismiss. She has an extremely promising future ahead of her, and will undoubtedly become one of the top WPL players over time. She can lead UPW to great heights. In Super Over, her stunning innings resurrected the game for them – giving UPW their much-needed win after giving all they could to beat rival team WTW earlier. Both sides put on an incredible display of skill and drama that left viewers reeling for days; making this match something they will remember fondly for years.
