Facing UP Warriorz in their opener at Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB seeks a strong start. Meanwhile, UP Warriorz, bolstered by players like Alyssa Healy, Grace Harris, Sophie Ecclestone, and the addition of Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu, aim for a top-two finish this season.

LIVE WPL 2024: Sobhana Asha Wins POTM

Sobhana Asha | Player of the Match: A lot of struggle and a lot of hard work. I'm not thinking about my 5 wickets, we won our first game at our home ground. Very happy that I contributed to the victory and that too at Chinnaswamy. I knew the situation would be something like this and I visualised. I did a lot of homework. I saw Grace going against the turn, thought if I pull the length back and across, I might get a top-edge or bowled. I was ready to get smashed, but I was sure I would get them.
