UP Warriorz have had a forgettable campaign in WPL 2025, struggling to find any rhythm.
Deepti Sharma’s side has endured a torrid run at home, losing every match in Lucknow so far. With just two wins from seven games, they sit at the bottom of the table, needing a strong finish to salvage pride. Their latest setback came against Mumbai Indians, where they fell to a six-wicket defeat.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have also seen their season spiral downward after a bright start.
The defending champions opened with back-to-back wins but have since slumped to four consecutive losses.
With two wins from six matches, they are placed fourth and teetering on the edge of playoff elimination. Their last outing was a humbling nine-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals, making this game a crucial test.
