Preview of the UPW vs. RCBW match
In Match 18 of the 2025 Women’s Premier League, UP Warriorz Women will take against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women. After three straight losses, UP has fallen to the bottom of the standings and will need to put up an incredible show to make it to the playoffs. With just four points from six games this season, Bengaluru is one spot above UP and has not performed well at all. The forthcoming battle would be more challenging because of UP’s poor tournament result. Bengaluru, however, has a lot of incentive heading into this important game and can still guarantee a postseason berth.
