RCB-W vs UP-W Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for WPL 2023, Match 8
The eighth match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 will see Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (RCB-W) take on UP Warriorz Women (UP-W) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, March 10. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the RCB-W vs UP-W Dream11 prediction.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a nightmarish start to their WPL campaign, losing three games on the trot. Despite the likes of Sophie Devine and Smriti Mandhana showing signs of form, the Royal Challengers' bowling attack has not been able to deliver the goods.
The Warriorz, meanwhile, have two points in two matches so far, with Sophie Ecclestone and Tahlia McGrath impressing with the ball and bat, respectively. Although the Warriorz will start as the favorites owing to their superior bowling attack, they will be wary of a star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore batting unit.
With both teams keen on getting into winning ways, a cracking game is on the cards in Mumbai.
