The second match of the WPL 2024 is scheduled to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz. The contest will be played in the home ground of the Bangalore-based franchise, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.
Both teams will look to start with a win as both teams didn’t have the ideal season 1. RCB ended the season at the 4th position in the points table with just 2 wins in 8 matches whereas UPW got slightly better numbers but ended at 3rd position with 4 wins in 8 matches.
Always the most destructive team on Paper, RCB, had the world’s best women athletes in their roaster in the previous year and they have added more. The team consisting of star players like Smriti Mandhana, Renuka Singh, Richa Ghosh, Sophie Devine, and Ellyse Perry has added more prominent and promising names to their squad like Kate Cross, Ekta Bisht, and Georgia Wareham.
This year again, RCB is one of the best and one of the most powerful teams in the tournament and they would be seeking a better season of the WPL and their first aim will be to seal the first match of the season.
UP Warriorz, on the other hand, were one of the underdogs last season but played a better cricket than the strongest team of the tournament. They defeated Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, and Royal Challengers Bangalore last season and were hard to beat throughout the tournament.
Alyssa Healy-led UP-based franchise is also full of big international women athletes like Deepti Sharma, Grace Harris, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Sophie Ecclestone, and Tahlia Mcgrath. In addition, they have roped in more talent in the WPL Auction in the form of Dani Wyatt, Vrinda Dinesh, Poonam Khemnar, Saima Thakor, and Gouher Sultana.
Both teams are top-class teams and would be eager to give their 100% on the field on the match day. Below are the RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, Head-to-Head Records, and Pitch Report:

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch report
In Twenty20 cricket, Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium provides a batting-friendly surface. The WPL 2024 matches are probably going to have flat surfaces and short boundaries, which might lead to high-scoring games. In the eighteen Twenty20 matches played here, teams that bat first have only won seven times, thus both captains will probably want to field first on Saturday.
