UP vs RCB, WPL Highlights: RCB complete dominant eight-wicket win vs UP Warriorz

Nadine De Klerk to Meg Lanning, OUT! CAUGHT! Nadine De Klerk strikes immediately, and the big wicket arrives. She serves it up full outside off, right in Lanning's hitting zone, and Meg goes for the big one. She ends up slicing it high over cover-point, and Radha Yadav judges it calmly in the deep to pouch a straightforward catch. The 74-run partnership is broken, and Lanning departs after a fine knock of 41.

Arundhati Reddy has been replaced by Nadine De Klerk.

STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! Royal Challengers Bengaluru take the timeout at the first available opportunity. With 38 runs coming in the last three overs, the UP Warriorz have built some momentum in their innings, and Bengaluru want to break that rhythm and wrest back control. They did start well, keeping things tight, but their discipline has wavered since, and Smriti Mandhana will want to gather her troops and reset in the middle. Meg Lanning and Deepti Sharma have both got starts, and now it is about solidifying the platform on what is looking like a good batting wicket, with no real demons so far. Arundhati Reddy to bowl after the break.

Sayali Satghare to Deepti Sharma, Drifting down the leg side, Sharma nudges it off her pads but finds short fine with precision. At the end of the Powerplay, 50 runs are on the board for the Warriorz.

Lanning rocks back to work it into the leg side but plays all around it and is struck on the back pad. A loud appeal follows, and the umpire stays unmoved. Smriti gathers her troops, has a quick chat with the bowler and keeper, and goes upstairs. DRS time. No bat is involved on UltraEdge, and Ball Tracking shows it is clipping the leg stump. It stays with the on-field call.

Sayali Satghare to Meg Lanning, Short and on off, Lanning pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. 49 runs on the board and this is the best opening stand for UP Warriorz, informs the on-air commentator.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, SIX! A good end to the over for the Warriorz. Lauren pitches it up, on off, Deepti crouches a bit and swings across the line. She clubs it to the right of the deep square leg fielder for a six. Productive last couple of overs for UPW. 24 runs off the last 12 balls.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, Wide! Bell switches to around the wicket and serves the short ball, over middle. Too high as Deepti ducks under it. Wide given for height.

Shreyanka Patil to Deepti Sharma, Back to around the wicket for the left-hander, around off, on a nagging length. Deepti plays it with soft hands beside the strip on the leg side. Lanning is keen for a quick single but Patil gets to the ball and cuts it off. 10 runs off the over!
