The eighth match of the WPL 2023 will take place on the 10th of March in Mumbai between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz. UP Warriorz marked a win in their inaugural match against Gujarat Giants yet they failed the last match against Delhi Capitals. Royal Challengers played three matches in the season, yet lose all those and stays last on the points table.
UP Warriorz’ last match was a 42 runs loss against Delhi Capitals even though Tahlia McGrath had an amazing strike of 90 runs from 50 balls. Her fireworks of 11 fours and 4 boundaries really helped the side reach past the 160-run mark. Yet they couldn’t chase the target of 211 runs raised by Delhi. Alyssa Healy was the second-highest scorer in the side with 24 runs. Devika Vaidya scored a 23. Others failed to create an impact with the bat. The bowlers were poor in the match, giving away too many runs. They failed to collect wickets at regular intervals. Shabnim Ismail, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Tahlia McGrath claimed a wicket each.
Royal Challengers played their last match against Mumbai Indians. Batting first, they never reached a high score as it easily chased Mumbai when 34 balls were remaining. Richa Ghosh was the high scorer with 28 runs off 26 balls. Shreyanka Patil and Smriti Mandhana scored 23 runs each. The bowlers struggled highly to restrict the Mumbai women as only Preeti Bose picked a wicket in the match.
