Grace Harris led the way with a brutal 40-ball 85, while skipper Smriti Mandhana chipped in with an unbeaten 32-ball 47 as RCB completed a chase of 144 in just 12.1 overs.

Asked to bat first, UP Warriorz recovered from a disastrous 50 for five to post 143 in the allotted 20 overs, with all-rounders Deepti Sharma (45 off 35 balls) and Deandra Dottin (40 off 37 balls) pulling off a fine rescue act.

However, RCB chased down the target with consummate ease.
