RCB-W vs UPW-W Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 5, WPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 5 of the WPL 2026 between RCB-W vs UPW-W to be played in Navi Mumbai.

The second-season winner, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women, started the WPL 2026 with a win over the defending champion, Mumbai Indians (MI). They were out of the game until Nadine de Klerk produced something spectacular with the bat to seal the deal.

Now, RCB-W will take on UP Warriorz Women in the next game. This contest will be held at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy on Monday in Navi Mumbai. RCB-W struggled with the bat and were sloppy in the field, and that is what they need to work on

UPW-W are coming off a defeat in their opening game. They batted well, but it was their bowling and fielding which went against them. Meg Lanning and co. surely need an improved bowling display.

RCB-W vs UPW-W: Pitch Report

The first few games have shown that this is an excellent wicket to bat on. The ball is coming nicely onto the bat with good bounce. There will be some swing for the first few overs while spinners can extract slow turn. But overall, it is pretty flat, and shorter boundaries make it difficult for the bowling side as well.
