This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST at Dr. DY Patil Stadium. RCB-W had a little tumble in the middle with the bat, which may be because some of Ellyse Perry's caliber is not with them. Meanwhile, UPW-W had a close defeat in their opening game against Gujarat Giants, and they started the WPL 2026 with a defeat. RCB-W vs UPW-W: Match Details Date : January 12, 2026 (Monday) Time : 7:30 PM IST Venue : Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai RCB-W vs UPW-W Live Streaming Details The WPL 2026 will be broadcast live on Star Sports Networks on Indian cable TV networks.

In the previous game both teams scored 200+, because this wicket is excellent to bat on. It is very hard for a bowler to bowl here. A small mistake can cost big, and batting conditions will remain the same in both innings. RCB-W vs UPW-W: Possible XIs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women : Smriti Mandhana (c), Grace Harris, D. Hemalatha, Richa Ghosh (wk), Nadine de Klerk, Radha Yadav, Shreyanka Patil, Arundhati Reddy, Prema Rawat, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell UP Warriorz Women : Meg Lanning (c), Kiran Navgire, Phoebe Litchfield, Deepti Sharma, Harleen Deol, Deandra Dottin, Shikha Pandey, Shweta Sehrawat (wk), Sophie Ecclestone, Asha Sobhana, Kranti Gaud RCB-W vs UPW-W: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Grace Harris played a good cameo in the first game, and this is how she will play.

Probable Best Bowler Nadine de Klerk bowled well in the first game, and she is a specialist in the death overs. For UPW-W, Sophie Ecclestone is a world-class spinner and certainly among the best.

Sophie Devine Hammers 32 Runs Off Sneh Rana For The Most-expensive Over In WPL History
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Giants' Sophie Devine hammered two fours and four sixes off Sneh Rana of Delhi Capitals in the sixth over of Match 4 to score 32 runs and make it the most expensive over ever in the history of the Women's Premier League (WPL) at the Dr. D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. New Zealand all-rounder Devine exploded into action in the sixth over of their match against Delhi Capitals, hitting boundaries off the first two balls and then hammering four successive sixes, leaving Rana and Delhi Capitals shellshocked. This turned out to be the most expensive over ever bowled in the history of WPL, surpassing the 28 runs that Deepti Sharma of UP Warriorz had conceded in a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in WPL 2025. Ironically, Deepti was taken to the cleaners by Sneh Rana herself, blasting three sixes and two fours in the over that included a no-ball. This is the second time that Sophie Devine has scored 32 in an over against Rana. According to ESPNCricinfo, previously, she did that in a T20I against Rana. In the process of scoring the most runs in an over, Devine raced to her fifty off 25 balls and also helped Gujarat Giants post 80 for no loss in the six-over Power-play. Devine welcomed Rana into the attack with a four off her pads on the first ball of the over, powering it through the mid-wicket. She was dropped off the second ball by Marizanne Kapp, and the ball rolled to the cover-point boundary. Devine then went on a six-hitting spree, dancing down to a slower one and launching it over long-on, clearing her foot to the fourth delivery to smoke it over cow corner as she reached 50. In the process of scoring the most runs in an over, Devine raced to her fifty off 25 balls and also helped Gujarat Giants post 80 for no loss in the six-over Power-play. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The New Zealand all-rounder was at it again by blasting three sixes in an over off N Shree Charani in the ninth over. She fell five runs short of a well-deserved century, getting out for 95 off 47 balls, caught by Shree Charini off Nandini Sharma. Devine's highest score in WPL is 99 not out, which she scored in the first season. Article Source: IANS

WPL: Finding It Easier To Score Quicker, Says Litchfield After Lighting 78 In UPWs Opening Game
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: UP Warriorz delivered a strong batting performance, highlighted by Phoebe Litchfield's spectacular innings. She scored 78 runs off 40 balls, hitting eight fours and five sixes, maintaining her team's chances during the chase. Despite falling short of the target by 10 runs, Litchfields contribution was a key highlight of the opening match. Shweta Sehrawat provided solid support with a quick 25 off 17 balls, complemented by Asha Sobhana's energetic late cameo. As the target score kept rising, the Warriorz had to take risks, leading to wickets falling. Despite these challenges, the strong batting performance by the opener offers the team a positive foundation to improve on for future matches. Reflecting on the teams approach with the bat, Litchfield said, Our batting order has so much versatility and firepower, both at the top and down the order. The message is to back yourself, play your shots and not leave any runs out there. Shweta is a real aggressor from ball one, and that allows Meg (Lanning) and me to bat around her, along with players like Deandra Dottin. Speaking about her own evolving T20 game, she added, T20 cricket has definitely been a work-on for me. I probably dont hit the ball as hard as some of the big hitters, so its been about finding my own way to score, manipulating the field and making good decisions. Each year, Im finding it easier to score quicker. Litchfield also praised captain Meg Lannings impact on the group, saying, Meg is so calm, composed and concise - maybe the three Cs. Her messaging is always clear and never confusing. She just gets the job done and has fun doing it, and you can see why she led Australia so successfully for so long. Assessing the conditions on the night, Litchfield remarked, The wicket was pretty flat. A few balls stayed low and a few bounced a bit more than expected, but DY Patil is a very nice wicket and difficult to defend on; 200 definitely felt par tonight. Litchfields innings was notable not just for its pace but also for her precise ball-striking, highlighting her ongoing development of power in her game. If youd told me a couple of years ago that Id hit a few sixes tonight, I wouldnt have believed you. Everyones getting stronger and the ball is travelling further. For me its often just about a relaxed swing and timing the ball, rather than trying to hit it too hard. Assessing the conditions on the night, Litchfield remarked, The wicket was pretty flat. A few balls stayed low and a few bounced a bit more than expected, but DY Patil is a very nice wicket and difficult to defend on; 200 definitely felt par tonight.

WPL: 'MI's Fortunes Rest Heavily On Nat Sciver-Brunt,' Opines Mithali
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj shared her thoughts on the Mumbai Indians' (MI) two experienced players, Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt, stepping up with the bat to help secure the win against the Delhi Capitals (DC) after their defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the thrilling WPL opener. MI sealed a commanding 50-run win over DC, backed by a dominant batting display and a clinical bowling effort led by Amelia Kerr (3-24) and Nicola Carey (3-37). Captain Harmanpreet was named Player of the Match for spearheading MIs batting with a blistering 74 not out off 32 balls, while Sciver-Brunts composed 70 off 46 deliveries powered Mumbai Indians to an imposing 195/4. From the time she walked in, she was timing the ball well. She didnt take many deliveries to get her eye in. She continued from where she left off on Friday, scoring those 30-odd runs, and the shots she played were very clean, Mithali said on Harmanpreet's knock in JioStar. The bat swing, how she picked the length, she was playing in the areas she was targeting, and she picked her bowlers as well when the spinners came on. That one big over from Minnu Mani, although boundaries were hit by Nat Sciver-Brunt, both of them picked up momentum there. There was a shift in the game, and from then on, she was playing shots at will, she added. Further speaking on Sciver-Brunt's knock and her role in the Mumbai Indians line-up, Mithali added, When it comes to her form, she might have a couple of quiet games, but you know there is always a big innings coming from her. When she walked in, the approach and intent she showed suggested she wanted to contribute to the team. She didnt do that in the last game, but as a unit, Mumbai Indians were aware that if they wanted to get across the line, she had to come good. The fortunes of Mumbai Indians rest heavily on her. When she does well, everybody else around her just gets going. Defending 195, MI bowlers delivered a disciplined performance that mirrored their batters' dominance. The pressure was applied early when Sciver-Brunt struck in the opening exchanges, removing Lizelle Lee for 10. Nicola Carey then struck twice, dismissing Shafali Verma (8) and Laura Wolvaardt (9). Soon after, skipper Jemimah Rodrigues departed cheaply, leaving DC reeling at 35/4 at the end of the powerplay. Chinelle Henry, however, kept DCs hopes alive despite losing partners at the other end and raised her second WPL fifty. Her innings ended at 56(33) when Amelia Kerr delivered the final blow to DCs hopes, wrapping up the DC innings for 145 and sealing a convincing 50-run victory, their first win of the 2026 season. Reflecting on DC's collapse in contrast to MI's batting display, Mithali said, Two seniors stood up in the middle order for Mumbai Indians, and when you have a run chase like that, you want a good powerplay. You want Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee to give you the sort of start that is required, and then you have players like Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues to follow. The top five couldnt really put even a hundred runs on the board, and that is something Delhi Capitals will be very disappointed with. Reflecting on DC's collapse in contrast to MI's batting display, Mithali said, Two seniors stood up in the middle order for Mumbai Indians, and when you have a run chase like that, you want a good powerplay. You want Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee to give you the sort of start that is required, and then you have players like Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues to follow. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think Nicola Carey bowled perfect deliveries for those two types of players, where you want to beat them on the inside edge. So, it was really clear in terms of planning from Mumbai Indians bowlers, and the execution was pinpoint in comparison to Friday against RCB, including the key moments like the catch from Kamalini to dismiss Jemimah Rodrigues. We saw a number of dropped catches on Friday that potentially shifted the game. So I think it was those quick improvements and a positive shift in attitude, she added. Article Source: IANS

Lanning, after her 27-ball 30-run knock, tallies 981 and is just 50 runs short of Mumbai Indians all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunts tally, who leads the chart with 1031 runs (after Match 1 of WPL 2026). Sciver-Brunt is the only player in the tournament with 1000+ runs to her name, thanks to a brilliant 2025 campaign that saw her script history. The England skipper, during MIs victorious WPL 2025 campaign, became the first and only cricketer to score 500+ runs in a single season so far.

She played for Delhi Capitals in the first three seasons, scoring 952 runs in 27 matches, helping the franchise reach the finals in all three WPL seasons so far. She was released by DC before WPL 2026 and subsequently acquired by UP Warriorz, who appointed her as the team captain for the ongoing season.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj has highlighted the partnership between Nadine de Klerk and Arundhati Reddy, which laid the platform for Royal Challengers Bengaluru's thrilling victory over Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 opener in Navi Mumbai. Nadine de Klerk hammered a 44-ball 63 not out, while Arundhati contributed 20 off 23 balls, as they shared a 52-run partnership. RCB made a winning start in the tournament they won in 2024. They rescued RCB from a precarious 67/5 soon after the Power-play, before the South African all-rounder sealed victory. Season 4 of the WPL got off to a thrilling start with a last-ball finish, as de Klerk hammered 20 runs off the last four balls against the Mumbai Indians in the opener at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday night. The partnership between Nadine de Klerk and Arundhati Reddy really brought the game back for RCB. This is exactly how we want WPL Season 4 to begin, and it certainly delivered, Raj said on JioStar. We were talking during the game about wanting the match to be a real nail-biter, one that goes right down to the wire, and thats exactly what happened, right till the last ball. There were several moments in the game where RCB had the Mumbai Indians under pressure. For the longest time in the first innings, up until the 15th over, RCB had a grip on the game by picking up early wickets and breaking the MI top order. However, that pressure was released in the final five overs. RCB also started well in the Power-play, despite losing wickets and not having any substantial partnerships early on, she said. Talking about Nadine de Klerks partnership with Arundhati Reddy, Mithali said, Nadine not only has a strong awareness of her own game, but she has also delivered these impactful knocks consistently, which speaks volumes about the quality and skill she brings. The partnership with Arundhati Reddy is something we really need to highlight; it wasnt just about Nadine batting till the end. She needed someone to play a supporting role, and Arundhati did that exceptionally well. They had to build that partnership for Nadine to play such an impactful innings. Without that support, she may have been dismissed much earlier. Because of that partnership, Nadine knew she could take the game deep and push it till the final over. Katey Martin also analysed de Klerks match-winning performance and said the all-rounder backed herself to clear the ropes. I think there was real clarity in the way Nadine went about her innings. She knows she can back herself to clear the ropes, and that confidence is crucial. Weve spoken so much about the importance of Nadine de Klerk. Her bowling was outstanding in the first innings; she knew exactly what worked from a bowlers perspective, and she carried that awareness into her batting. She produced something special under pressure and was probably the only player who truly held her nerve throughout the day. In moments like these, it comes down to who can handle the biggest pressure situations, and weve seen Nadine do it before. Shes banked that confidence over the last 18 months, Martin stated.
