Previous Season’s Performance and Upcoming Challenges:
In the previous season, RCB Women’s team didn’t have the desired start. They lost the first five matches in a row. That was a huge setback for the franchise. They registered their first win against the UP Women’s team in the 6th match. RCB had a good team on paper but didn’t do well, winning only two matches out of eight. They ended up with four points and a negative Net Run Rate (-1.137).
In the upcoming season of the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore will start their campaign against the UP Women’s team on February 24. The match will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. All the matches of the tournament will be played in Bangalore and Delhi.
In the squad, Royal Challengers Bangalore has players like Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight, Richa Ghosh, Sophie Devine, Ket Cross, and many more. Team India’s young batting sensation Richa Ghosh is also a part of the squad. Skipper Smriti Mandhana is all set to conquer the field with this team in the upcoming WPL season.
