UP Warriorz romped to a 10-wicket win over Royal Challenger Bangalore at the Brabone Staidum in Mumbai on Friday thanks to captain Alyssa Healy’s unbeaten 96-run knock.
RCB were bowled out for a total of 138 runs and the Lucknow-based team has no trouble in getting over the line without dropping a wicket.
UPW solidified their position at the third position in the table with the win as they now have 4 points from three games. They have managed to win two games, one against Gujarat Giants in the opener and the other against RCB. Their only loss of the tournament to date came at the hands of Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals are placed second with 4 points to their name from three games but are positioned above the UP franchise thanks to their superior run rate.
Unbeaten Mumbai Indians led by Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur lead the table with three wins from three and continue to set the pace for the rest of the teams to follow.
Gujarat Giants sit fourth in the table after having won one game out of their three outings so far.
