The last match of the Lucknow leg in the ongoing TATA Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 will see a contest between UP Warriorz (UP-W) and the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (BLR-W).
Both teams will step on the field on Saturday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This might be the last game for UP-W this season as they’re all but knocked out of the playoffs race.
Meanwhile, BLR-W are fighting to retain their title. They have two games left to play and need to win both matches to qualify for the playoffs.

The forecast for Saturday evening in Lucknow is predicted to be clear and bright with a maximum temperature of around 25° C and average humidity of 38 percent.
The pitch in Lucknow has played well so far. It has assisted the batters more, whereas bowlers have had minimal help. The bounce is very good, and the outfield is generally quick, which makes it quite a good venue for the batters. The team that has batted second has a better win percentage here in the ongoing WPL 2025.

UP Warriorz have been struggling with the form of their batters. They are not scoring runs. They had a good opening stand in the last game, but once again their middle order failed badly. BLR-W are also struggling, but they have players who are performing for them. That is why we back BLR-W to win this game.
