Chamari Athapaththu In Spotlight As Up Warriorz Face Royal Challengers Bangalore In Wpl 2024

The Women’s Premier League 2024 (WPL) witnessed an exciting clash between UP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The toss favored UP Warriorz, led by the dynamic Alyssa Healy, who elected to field first against Smriti Mandhana‘s Royal Challengers Bangalore.

One of the significant boosts for UP Warriorz was the inclusion of Sri Lankan superstar Chamari Athapaththu, adding depth to their already star-studded lineup. With international talents like Grace Harris, Sophie Ecclestone, Tahlia McGrath, Danielle Wyatt, and the last-minute replacement for Lauren Bell, they posed a formidable challenge.

RCB pinned their hopes on skipper Smriti Mandhana, looking to bounce back from a lackluster performance in the previous WPL season. Mandhana’s struggles with both captaincy and batting reflected in her meager tally of 149 runs in eight matches, averaging 18 with a strike-rate of 119, prompting her to lead from the front this time.
