The 5th match of Women’s Premier League 2026 bursts alive at Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 12 at 7:30 PM IST, as UP Warriorz lock horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a high-voltage showdown. RCB kicked off with a clinical three-wicket chase against defending Champions Mumbai Indians, while UPW fell short by 10 runs in a roller coaster pursuit of the Gujarat Giants’ total.
