Royal Challengers Bangalore (BAN-W) had a season to forget during the first edition of the WPL. Smriti Mandhana in particular was disappointed as she cut a sorry figure when the wins didn’t come her way. With just two wins the RCB team finished 4th in the table which was way below par as far as the expectations were concerned. This season RCB will hope the fortunes change as they are playing in front of their home crowd. 

UP Warriorz (UP-W) possesses a heady mix of international and Indian star power this time around. Australian superstar Alyssa Healy will again be the focal point to lead her team to glory. As far as the Indian players are concerned, Vrinda Dinesh will be keenly looked at. The batter is reputed to be a fearsome striker of the ball and can hit the ball long and hard.

Pitch report 

Since it is in the early stages of the tournament, one expects the Bengaluru pitch to be aiding stroke players. One expects the captain to bat first after winning the toss. The reason behind this is that chasing teams have found it difficult in recent times at this venue. Traditionally, Bengaluru has been a high-scoring venue and the recent matches have seen nothing to change that fact.
