RCB-W vs UP-W Pitch Report

The surface at the Brabourne has been a batter’s ally in the tournament so far. The three matches at this venue have seen the bowlers struggle for consistency, and the shorter boundaries do not help their cause either. While the pitch remains largely unchanged throughout the duration of the game, the team winning the toss would be inclined to bat first at this venue.

RCB-W vs UP-W Probable Playing XIs

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (RCB-W):

Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight, Richa Ghosh (wk), Poonam Khemnar, Kanika Ahuja, Shreyanka Patil, Megan Schutt, Renuka Thakur Singh, Preeti Bose

RCB-W vs UP-W Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Sophie Devine: The veteran New Zealand cricketer showed glimpses of her talents in her previous outing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore after registering a valiant 66 off 45 deliveries. However, her half-century went in vain as RCB fell short by 11 runs in a close-fought contest. Devine will be hoping to add to her tally in the upcoming game against the UP Warriorz.

Probable best bowler

Heather Knight: RCB’s Heather Knight has been one of their better performers in an underwhelming start to their WPL campaign. The veteran Englishwoman has got four wickets to her name, along with a couple of handy cameos with the bat. She will play a crucial role with the ball when her side takes on the UP Warriorz.
