Women's Premier League 2026: RCB vs UPW playing 11, live time, streaming

In-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are taking on UP Warriorz (UPW) in match No. 5 of the WPL 2026 today in Navi Mumbai. The coin flip of the match went in RCB's favour and skipper Smriti Mandhana decided to field first.  RCB come into this contest after a nerve-jangling last-ball win over Mumbai Indians, a result of their ability to hold their composure under pressure. Nadine de Klerk starred in that outing with a decisive all-round show, but the Bengaluru camp will want more substance from their top order. Skipper Smriti Mandhana, alongside Grace Harris and Richa Ghosh, will be keen to stamp authority after quiet starts.

 

 

UP Warriorz, meanwhile, are looking to correct course following a narrow defeat against Gujarat Giants. Phoebe Litchfield’s impressive innings in that game was a major positive, even as the team fell short. Much attention will be on Deepti Sharma, whose all-round influence is crucial to UPW’s balance. With momentum on one side and urgency on the other, today’s clash promises a keenly fought contest.  Check the live score and match updates of the WPL 2026 RCB vs UPW match here
