UP-W vs RCB-W | 13th Match | TATA Womens Premier League 2023
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) still have a chance to qualify for the Eliminator in WPL 2023, despite a poor start to the season. However, they need every result to go their way from here on, including Mumbai Indians losing to them and beating other teams, Delhi Capitals losing to Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Giants beating UP Warriorz.
RCB must also win all their remaining three games, starting with their match against UP Warriorz on March 15.
Of RCB’s five straight losses, their defeat to Delhi Capitals hurt the most but also gave them confidence. They showed a spin-enabled comeback to drag a sub-par 150 chase to the final over, and their death-overs fightback was on display, which had been missing from them in the first leg.
Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh’s partnership worth 74 runs are positive signs for RCB, who have struggled for acceleration after bright starts in the powerplay.
However, they also need their captain to return to her dominating self at the top of the order. Bowling-wise, Perry, Megan Schutt, and their uncapped spinners did well to pull Delhi Capitals back towards the end, and it was the most economical their bowling had been this season.
UP Warriorz, on the other hand, have had an ebb and flow campaign so far. They have won every match followed by a loss, which is something they want to rectify soon.
Warriorz will be hoping to prolong RCB’s misery and consolidate their third spot. Their strength lies in spin, and Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad will be their go-to bowlers.
With the pitches showing some mercy to bowlers, Warriorz would be looking to capitalize on their spin strength. Healy and McGrath have hit top gear, but the overseas stars have mostly carried the batting responsibility, which remains an area of concern for them.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Probable XI:
There are a few injury and illness issues within the squad, resulting in Kanika Ahuja missing her first game of the season. However, if she is fit and ready, the left-handed all-rounder should make a return to the team’s starting lineup.
- Smriti Mandhana (c),
- Sophie Devine,
- Ellyse Perry,
- Heather Knight,
- Richa Ghosh (wk),
- Shreyanka Patil,
- Disha Kasat/Kanika Ahuja,
- Megan Schutt,
- Asha Shobana/Sahana Pawar/Poonam Khemnar,
- Renuka Thakur,
- Preeti Bose
UP Warriorz Probable XI:
Warriorz’s batting performance has improved since they started using a left-right combination at the top of the order by promoting Devika Vaidya.
Although she has only scored single-digit scores so far, UP has shown confidence in the uncapped pair of Shweta Sehrawat and Simran Shaikh.
If this continues, adding Grace Harris to the team for backup situations would not only add depth to their batting order but also provide an extra spin-bowling option.
- Devika Vaidya,
- Alyssa Healy (c & wk),
- Kiran Navgire,
- Tahlia McGrath,
- Shweta Sehrawat,
- Deepti Sharma,
- Simran Shaikh,
- Sophie Ecclestone,
- Shabnim Ismail/Grace Harris,
- Anjali Sarvani,
- Rajeshwari Gayakwad
