Despite a close-fought match that they lost against the Mumbai Indians Women, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women are unaffected in the standings in the points table. They remain atop the ladder with two wins in three games. The team led by Smriti Mandhana will want to continue this form in the upcoming matches.
The Women in Red and Blue face the UP Warriorz next at their home ground, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. After their marginal loss against Harmanpreet Kaur’s side, RCBW will want to get back to their winning ways. Here we look at their possible playing XI for their clash against the UP Warriorz.
Top Order- Smriti Mandhana (c), Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Ellyse Perry

Smriti Mandhana has been leading the team from the front, having scored 116 runs in three matches, with 81 being her highest. She will look to give her team another explosive start in the next match. Danielle Wyatt, on the other hand, has not had the best time. Apart from her cameo of 42 against Delhi Capitals Women, she has not done much. Ellyse Perry, like Mandhana, has done justice to her leadership role. She has scored 145 runs, with the highest being 81.
Middle Order- Richa Ghosh (wk), Raghvi Bist, Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham

Richa Ghosh has played the role of middle-order batter and finisher well in the series. She has scored with a strike rate of 180 this season. She would like to keep it consistent and try to score more runs in the upcoming matches. Raghvi Bist, Kanika Ahuja, and Georgia Wareham, meanwhile, have all blown cold with the bat this season. Wareham, however, has done well with the ball, picking seven wickets.
Bowlers- Kim Garth, Ekta Bisht, Joshitha VJ, Renuka Singh Thakur
Kim Garth, Ekta Bisht, and Renuka Singh Thakur have all done well with the ball this season, having picked four, three, and five wickets, respectively. They will look to continue this against UPW in the next match. Joshita VJ, however, will have to step up and take wickets. She has not taken any wickets yet and has an economy of over 10.
