WPL 2023 points table: Updated standings, Orange Cap, Purple Cap leaders after RCB vs UPW

The Women's Premier League points table witnessed a change following RCB vs UPW match 8. So far, WPL has seen a string of one-sided contents and adding to the flow, UP warriorz defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 10 wickets. It is RCB's fourth consecutive defeat in the tournament.

Batting first, RCB endured yet another failure from their captain Smriti Mandhana. The southpaw got out after contributing just 4 off 6 balls. However, Sophie Devine and Ellyse Perry got things underway and made some quick runs. At the score of 73, RCB lost its second wicket in the form of Devine. She made 36 off 24.

Following the brief spell, where RCB were looking to put on a good total on the board, the side lost its way as Perry did not get support from the other end. Perry anchored the innings but could not take RCB's ship far. She made a valiant 52 off 39 as RCB were bundled out for 139 in 19.3 overs.

In reply, UP Warriorz took apart RCB's bowling. Opener Alyssa Healy proved to be a force to reckon with, as she scored runs all around the park with an exceptional strike rate of 204. Fellow opener Devika Vaidya scored 36 off 31 and the duo chased down the target in just 13 overs. Healy scored a match-winning 96 off 47 balls.
