Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on the UP Warriorz in their next match of the Women’s Premier League 2026 in Vadodara on Thursday (January 29). Smriti Mandhana & co. eye return to winning ways after facing back-to-back setbacks in their otherwise dominant campaign. The former champions had a run of five consecutive victories before going down against the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians.
Mandhana’s side now aims for a quick return to winning ways against a team they’ve beaten before in the competition. RCB would be taking confidence from the previous match versus the Warriorz, having beaten them by 9 wickets in Navi Mumbai. A sixth win of the campaign should seal RCB’s top spot on the table, giving them an uncontested direct place in the final.
For the Warriorz, led by Aussie giant Meg Lanning, the clash with RCB will be their final opportunity to claim a spot in the play-offs stage. Having faced four defeats in six outings, including a massive loss to the Gujarat Giants in their last match, the Warriorz stand on the brink of elimination. To have any chance of making it through, Lanning’s team must achieve victory in both their remaining league games and hope their NRR prevails in case of a two or three-way tie.
