WPL 2026, Match 18: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women vs UP Warriorz Women, Probable Playing XI, Live Streaming & Where to Watch them Live

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCB W) will aim to bounce back when they take on UP Warriorz (UP W) in Match 18 of WPL 2026 at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Thursday, January 29. RCB began the season in dominant fashion, winning their first five games and securing a playoff spot early. However, consecutive losses to Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians have dented their momentum. A win against UP Warriorz will be crucial for restoring confidence and heading into the knockout stages on a positive note.

On the other hand, UP Warriorz, led by Meg Lanning, face a must-win situation in their last two matches to remain in playoff contention. Currently, they have managed only two victories in six games, suffering defeats in four. Their latest encounter saw them lose to Gujarat Giants by 45 runs, highlighting inconsistencies in both batting and bowling. A strong performance against RCB W could revive their chances and give them hope of advancing further in the tournament.
