WPL 2026 RCB vs UPW Match Prediction: The WPL 2026 Match 5 will be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women and UP Warriorz Women on January 12 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST.
RCB Women come into this game after a close win against the Mumbai Indians, where Nadine de Klerk played a key role with the bat. Despite the win, RCB struggled with batting consistency and fielding, which remains an area of concern.
UP Warriorz Women lost their opening match, even though their batting looked decent. Their bowling and fielding let them down, and Meg Lanning’s side will look for a stronger overall performance in this match.
RCB and UP Warriorz have played each other six times in the WPL, with both teams winning three matches each. Last season, their match in Bengaluru went to a Super Over, which UP Warriorz won. In Navi Mumbai, they have met once, and RCB won by five wickets.
