WPL 2026: Deepti, Dottin Rescue Act Helps UP Warriorz Post 143/5 Against RCB
DY Patil Sports Academy: Former captain Deepti Sharma's rescue act of unbeaten 45 and Deandra Dottin's 40 not out helped UP Warriorz Women put up a score of 143/5 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the fifth match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
UP Warriorz produced a remarkable recovery to reach 143 for 5 in 20 overs, clawing their way back from a precarious 50 for 5, thanks to a superb, unbeaten 93-run sixth-wicket partnership between Dottin and Deepti.
After being asked to bat first, the Meg Lanning-led side started well with the bat but suffered an early setback courtesy of tight bowling from RCB bowlers. Harleen Deol (11), who was pushed up to open the innings with Meg Lanning (14), was unable to get going, while their captain also struggled early on to get into her innings. Phoebe Litchfield (20) batted with great intent early on, but then repeated last match's mistake and didn't match her quick start with more runs.
