BAN-W vs UP-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, WPL 2024
Match 2 of the Women’s Premier League sees Royal Challengers Bangalore Women take on UP Warriorz Women on Saturday evening at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB Women finished in fourth place last year, missing out on the knockout stage. UP Warriorz finished third in the group stage and were then knocked out in the Eliminator. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins in Bengaluru at 19:30 local time on February 24th.
RCB Women have retained 11 of their 18 players from last season’s squad but they will be demanding higher standards this time around. This will not be an easy game against UP Warriorz Women but we expect RCB to be competitive.
UP Warriorz Women have a team full of match-winners which is why they will still be bitterly disappointed with how their tournament finished last season. They won four of their group stage matches in 2023 and we expect them to get off to a winning start here.

From their original squad, two players have dropped out for RCB Women. England Women’s skipper Heather Knight has pulled out to focus on her country’s up-coming tour of New Zealand and Disha Kasat will also be unavailable for this game.
BAN-W Key Players
- Sophie Devine - The New Zealander had a top score of 99 in the last WPL and also made another half-century in an impressive season.
- Ellyse Perry - The Australian all-rounder has an average of 42.17 from her last eight games and is a match-winner with both bat and ball.
- Shreyanka Patil - The bowling all-rounder impressed with her off-spin last season and was often used to great effect in key moments.
- Sobhana Asha - The 32 year old bowling all-rounder is another who will get plenty of turn in this game. She took 2/27 in the last head to head with UP Warriorz Women.

UP Warriorz Team News & Playing 11
UP-W Team News
Sri Lanka Women’s star player Chamari Athapaththu was not in UP Warriorz Women’s initial squad for WPL 2024 but we expect her to open the batting for the side after she replaced England Women’s Lauren Bell. There are no injuries in the squad ahead of this fixture.
UP-W Key Players
- Tahlia McGrath - The Australian all-rounder was one of only three players to hit over 300 runs in last year’s competition and top scored with 90 not out.
- Alyssa Healy - The keeper-batter skipper missed much of the WBBL this year after a freak injury so she will be keen to contribute big scores in this match.
- Sophie Ecclestone - The left-arm spinner delivers the ball from a good height and always turns it a great deal. She will get spin and bounce from this pitch.
- Deepti Sharma - The India Women’s all-rounder has been in fine form across all formats with wickets in nine of her last ten matches.

UP Warriorz Women lost both of their last two matches in the 2023 competition including in the Eliminator.
