RCB vs UPW Live Score: 

Alyssa Healy: We'll have a bowl first. Amazing to play on a ground like this. We have to do the job with the ball. Poonam is going to play a big role, Chamari Athapaththu - our overseas rectruit will also play a key role for us. Excited to play here.

Smriti Mandhana: We already knew that. There's going to be a lot of noise and support. That's how RCB fan base is. I think it's the same wicket like last night. 175 would be a decent score if we play to our strenghts. We didn't have a great campaign last year. It's important for all the players to step up in order to win the tournament.
