The 18th match of the ongoing TATA WPL 2025 will be played between the defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz. The defending champions haven’t played like it after the Vadodara leg. They lost all their home games in the Bengaluru leg after winning two games in Vadodara. They need to win their remaining two games and have an eye on the Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Giants match.
That game, irrespective of the results, will determine how much margin they need to cover to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, the Warriorz are out of contention for the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Last season, the Lucknow-based team failed to qualify for the playoffs. The previous game between RCB and UPW was won by the Yellow Brigade in the Super Over.
