The 5th WPL 2026 match between the Royal Challengers Women and UP Warriorz Women will take place at Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Monday. UP Warriorz Women failed to make it to the finals in their high-octane chase, losing by 10 runs against Gujarat Giants. The Warriorz had a bad start, losing Kiran Navgire in the first over despite their impressive target of 208.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Women won their opening match by 3 wickets against Mumbai Indians Women, successfully chasing down the target of 155 on the last ball of the match. With a rapid 57 runs in the Powerplay, RCB kicked off their chase with an explosive start. The game took a turn for the worse when they lost five wickets in the middle order for just 25 runs.

RCB-W vs UP-W Key Players

Ellyse Perry

Ellyse Perry, a legend of the game, is back for more. She’s been big edgy with her batting form and hasn’t bowled as much in recent games but will be hoping to use the WPL to get herself back to her best before the T20 World Cup.

Deepti Sharma

Deepti Sharma is one of the better all-rounders going around India at the moment. She is a multi-utility player with the potential to make a really strong mark on the format and a good tournament from here will do a lot of good for Indian Cricket.

RCB-W vs UPW-W Match Tips

UP and RCB are both doing a decent job but are far from consistency. The winner here could well determine the third position and RCB may back themselves after a good first encounter against the Warriorz
