UP-W vs RCB-W Dream11 Prediction: All you need to know about the WPL 2023 match between UP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore
UP Warriorz are in the 3rd position with 2 wins in 4 games. They lost their last game against the Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets. UP has a good line-up with the likes of Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, Shabnim Ismail, Grace Harris and other domestic players in their ranks. Their batting is over-dependent on Healy, McGrath and Grace Harris if she plays. Kiran Navgire played one great knock but she has been inconsistent since then. Their bowling is also very much dependent on the spin duo of Ecclestone and Deepti. UP defeated RCB by 10 wickets in their last meeting and will look to do a double on them.
Royal Challengers Bangalore, meanwhile, are having a horrible season in the WPL. They have a star-studded line-up and they are one of the strongest sides on paper in the tournament but they are yet to win their first game after 5 matches. RCB has lost 5 games in a row. There have been some individual performances but they’ve failed to get going as a team. Elysse Perry is the only consistent performer. Their big names – Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine, Heather Knight and others must perform consistently in the remaining games. RCB will look to settle the score with UP and register their first win.

UP Warriorz: Alyssa Healy (c &wk), Devika Vaidya, Kiran Navgire, Tahlia McGrath, Simran Shaikh, Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, Shewta Sehrawar, Shabnim Ismail, Anjali Sarvani, Rajeshwari Gayakwad
RCB Women: Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight/Dae van Niekerk, Richa Ghosh (wk), Shreyanka Patil, Disha Kasat, Megan Schutt, Renuka Singh Thakur, Preeti Bose
It’s about time that RCB registers their first win. They have a strong squad but the players are not in good form. Expected them to bounce back in this game.
Sophie Ecclestone: Sophie Ecclestone is the number 1 bowler in WT20Is and she’s in great form in the WPL as well. Ecclestone has 8 wickets in 4 games and she picked up 4 wickets in the last game against RCB. Sophie will be an excellent captaincy option, especially when UP is bowling first.
Ellyse Perry: Ellyse Perry has scored 195 runs at an average of 48.75 including 2 half-centuries in the tournament. She is the second-highest run-scorer of the WPL 2023. Perry will bowl 4 overs as well. She will be the most popular captaincy pick for this game.
Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy is the third-highest run-scorer of the tournament with 185 runs at an average of 61.67. She scored a brilliant 96* in the last game against RCB and 58 in the last game against the Mumbai Indians. Healy is amongst the best openers in women’s cricket and she’s in good form as well.
Devika Vaidya: Devika Vaidya’s fantasy value has increased since she started opening the innings. She scored 36* runs against RCB. She’s not bowling that frequently but she may bowl an over or two. Devika will be an ideal differential pick.
Shabnim Ismail: Shabnim Ismail is one of the best pace bowlers in women’s cricket. She bowls fast and can trouble the batters with her pace and bounce. Ismail is in decent form and will be an excellent differential pick if she plays this game.
Shweta Sehrawat: Shewta Sehrawat has been demoted in the batting order which has affected her fantasy value. She’s not in good form as well. She will be our player to avoid in this match.
