On the other hand, UP Warriorz Women, led by Deepti Sharma, are at the fourth rank with one win and two losses, picking up two points.

They started their season with two consecutive losses over Gujarat Giants and Delhi Capitals. However, in their reverse fixtures with DC Women, they bagged a 33-run convincing win.

Speaking about their head-to-head record, both these sides have met against each other on four instances with RCB Women bagging three wins while UP Warriorz Women secured one win.

That said, let’s take a look at three players to watch out for in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women vs UP Warriorz Women match in WPL 2025.

Here are the 3 players to watch out for in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs UP Warriorz match in WPL 2025

1. Ellyse Perry

Australia all-rounder Ellyse Perry is one of the star players for RCB Women this time around. Though she is not rolling her arm, Perry is doing exceptionally well with the willow, scoring runs with ease.

Notably, Perry is the second-leading run-scorer of the season behind Nat Sciver Brunt with 145 runs from three innings.

2. Smriti Mandhana

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women skipper and opener Smriti Mandhana has so far amassed 116 runs from three innings at an average of 38.66 with one fifty-plus score. 

That said, we can expect her to put up a better effort in this crucial game, especially after losing their previous encounter over Mumbai Indians Women.

3. Deepti Sharma

UP Warriorz Women’s captain Deepti Sharma is our third player to watch out for in this encounter between RCB Women and UP Warriorz Women. 

In three matches she has played so far this WPL season, she could muster only 59 runs. Moreover, she scalped only two wickets with the ball in hand. We can expect her to put up a better show anytime soon.
