    WPL 2026: We Were Outplayed By RCB Tonight, Says UPW Skipper Lanning

    By IANS News January 12, 2026 • 23:44 PM View: 216
    DY Patil Sports Academy: UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning admitted that her side was comprehensively outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as the latter cruised to a nine-wicket win with 47 balls to spare in their Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 clash at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday night.

    “No, of course, not! We hoped to start with a win or two. We were outplayed by RCB tonight. Not our best night,” Lanning said after the defeat. “They bowled well up front and put us under pressure. Then never let us in the game with the bat. So, plenty to work for us. The good thing is that the games are coming thick and fast. So, we will move on pretty quickly.”

    RCB's dominance in this match stemmed from a fine partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris against UPW, both sharing an opening stand that was as fierce as they could be. The massive partnership allowed RCB to easily reach a modest target of 144 runs. Grace Harris smashed an incredible 85 runs off just 40 balls while Smriti Mandhana was not out on 47 at the time of the partnership.
