RCB, led by Smriti Mandhana, remain the only team in the competition to not have won at least one match. They lie rock-bottom of the points table with five defeats in as many matches.

Smriti Mandhana has failed to produce big knocks with the bat, and she will be hoping to do so against the Lucknow-based outfit. So far, she has endured scores of 35, 23, 18, 4 and 8 across the first five matches.

UP Warriorz, meanwhile, are third in the points table, with four points from four games, and will have to win each of their remaining games to have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage.

Skipper Alyssa Healy has been impressive, having scored 186 runs from four games, while England’s Sophie Ecclestone is their top bowler, with eight wickets from four games.
