Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 18 of the WPL 2026 between UPW-W vs RCB-W to be played in Vadodara.

The race for the playoffs in the WPL 2026 has reached its final hurdle, and UP Warriroz Women are currently behind all other teams. Royal Challengers Bengaluru crossed the finish point but tumbled a bit afterward.

Though RCB-W are still at the top of the league round, their qualification to the final depends on their final group game. They will face off against UPW-W in Vadodara at BCA Stadium on Thursday.

A win will help RCB-W to advance to the final of the competition. But UPW-W can’t afford to lose here. Because if they fail to cross the line, they will be eliminated. UPW-W will be without their ace batter, Phoebe Litchfield, who has been ruled out after an injury, leaving a big scare in this combination.
