UP Warriorz are coming off a close loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous league match. The Alyssa Healy-led side have managed to retain the third spot in the league stage with two wins out of four. The team is pretty in the race of making it into the top three of the inaugural edition with four games left to be played. Skipper Healy has single-handedly steered the top-order batting. Whereas, Tahlia Mcgrath in the middle, has provided the necessary cushion to the batting in previous encounters. In the match against MI, Alyssa Healy and Tahlia Mcgrath's half-centuries got the team to a decent total of 159 runs. The reputed Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma also failed to contribute with the ball in the previous match. Despite having world-class bowlers like Shabnim Ismail and Sophie Ecclestone in the bowling line-up, the UP Warriorz failed to defend against Mumbai Indians. However, UP Warriorz are capable enough to get back to winning ways sooner and will be eager to add couple more points to their name.
Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have developed a serious consistency in losing the matches. The team have five defeats to their name, with a recent one against Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets. The sole burden holder in batting, Elysse Perry, smashed a half-century against DC but in vain. Though the team is still in the hunt for knockouts, the chances are equally slim from here onwards for the Smriti Mandhana-led side. A loss in the next match will drop their chances to zero, officially leading to RCB's elimination from the competition's inaugural edition. Bulls-Eye!
