The Super Over:
Sophie Ecclestone's heroics secured a nail-biting Super Over victory for UP Warriorz over RCB in WPL 2025. Having taken the game to a Super Over with her late fireworks, she defended nine runs, giving away only four. Kim Garth had previously kept UPW to eight, sending Henry back and keeping them under wraps. RCB required nine to win but was found wanting against Ecclestone's brilliance. Mandhana and Ghosh were periods that couldn't be set boundaries, and UPW won. Ellyse Perry's 90 unbeaten had powered RCB to 180, but Ecclestone's all-around performance led to a turnaround, handing UP Warriorz their second win in succession and RCB back-to-back defeats.

Topmost Picks for UP-W vs RCB-W Dream11 Prediction, 13th Match:

Top Picks – UP Warriors Women

• Alyssa Healy- the skipper hit her second successive half-century of the tournament in Sunday’s defeat to top-of-the-table Mumbai Indians and is in excellent form.
• Sophie Ecclestone- the English left-arm spinner continues to trouble opposing batters irrespective of the format or the pitch. She took the wicket of the dangerous Hayley Matthews in the last game.

Top Picks – Royal Challengers Bangalore Women

• Ellyse Perry- only Meg Lanning, her Australian international captain, has scored more runs than Perry in the tournament. She looks very determined to bring success to this team with the bat.
• Sophie Devine- with Royal Challengers Bangalore struggling, they need all the experience of their batting line-up. Only five players have scored more runs than Devine so far in the tournament.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for UP-W vs RCB-W Dream11 Team:

Alyssa Healy, Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry(C), Kiran Navgire, Heather Knight, Tahlia McGrath(VC), Deepti Sharma, Sophie Ecclestone, Sobhana Asha, Megan Schutt

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

UP-W vs RCB-W 13th Match Probable Winners:

Royal Challengers Bangalore thought they were on the verge of beating Delhi Capitals only for two boundaries to leave them still win-less. They have some very good batters on their side but at the moment the bowling attack is too weak. UP Warriorz is by no means the complete team, but in Alyssa Healy and Sophie Ecclestone, they have outstanding players who can dominate with bat and ball. Considering the team combination, UP Warriors Women is expected to win this match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore remain winless as they take on UP, a side which hammered them in the previous game by ten wickets. With three games left time is running out for Royal Challengers as they struggle to find rhythm, especially after losing a handful of games with small margins.

RCB-W vs UP-W Key Players

Ellyse Perry

With RCB falling, Ellyse Perry’s experience will come in handy. She is often considered as the superwoman of her side with her ability to pull of breathtaking moments in the field. Now, with a lot on the line, RCB will hope for a saving performance from her.

Alyssa Healy

Alyssa Healy had a really good World Cup and is one of the best openers going around. She loves taking the bowlers on and with DY Patil stadium offering a lot of help to the batters the prospect of her getting a really good start multiply.

UP-W vs RCB-W Match Tips

UP hammered RCB in the last game and with RCB losing a handful of close games their morale is likely to be really low, which could play into the hands of UP.
