UP-W vs BAN-W Pitch Report
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium has proven to be a batting-friendly surface with short boundaries and a quick outfield. Both RCB Women and UP Warriorz Women have in-form batters, including Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris. Opting to bowl first has been a common decision in the previous WPL 2024 season, mainly due to the dew factor. Given the strong batting line-ups of both teams, achieving a 150-plus total is crucial.
