In the second match of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and UP Warriorz (UPW) will lock horns on Saturday (February 24) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Smriti Mandhana-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to get their campaign off to a positive start and avoid what happened last season when they registered a five-match win-less run until they beat UP Warriorz to land their first win.

Alyssa Healy's UP Warriorz also will look for a positive start as they aim to go all the way this season after falling in the eliminator in the first edition. UP had secured four wins last season, while RCB had won only twice in their eight outings in WPL 2023.
Now, the two sides, UPW and RCB will look to be more than just challengers this season when they get their campaigns started in Bengaluru, where they will meet for the first time, having met previously in Mumbai during season 1.
Here is a look at the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs UP Warriorz WPL head to head record, stats, record and the best performers in the fixtures between the two sides in Women's Premier League so far:
During season 1 in the round robin stage, UPW won the first encounter against RCB at the Brabourne Stadium, while RCB avenged that loss and registered their first win of the season in the reverse fixture at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
In the first fixture, Sophie Ecclestone (4 for 13) and Deepti Sharma (3 for 26) helped bundle out RCB for 138 before Healy (96* off 47) and Devika Vaidya (36* off 31) made light work of the chase, sealing a 10-wicket win for UPW with 7 overs to spare.
In the reverse fixture, Ellyse Perry (3 for 16) helped bundle out UPW for 135 before Richa Ghosh (31 off 32 balls) and Kanika Ahuja (46 off 30 balls) sealed the run chase for RCB with 5 wickets and 2 overs to spare.
