MI-W vs RCB-W Team Previews

Mumbai Indians Women

The Mumbai Indians have played some excellent cricket this season and have won 5 of their last 6 matches. While the team has already qualified for the knockouts, a win here will take them to the top of the table and as a result, they will earn a direct ticket to the finals.

The Mumbai Indians boast of a strong batting unit that is powered by some quality batters like Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, and Amelia Kerr. Nat Sciver-Brunt has played some brilliant knocks and is the leading run-scorer of this season.

Hayley Matthews has given the team some good starts and has also picked up 12 wickets, while Amelia Kerr is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 13 scalps.

Shabnim Ismail was brilliant with the new ball in the previous match as she picked up 2 wickets. She will be joined by Sciver-Brunt at the other end.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are the defending champions this season but they seem to be a shadow of what they were last time around. With 5 consecutive losses in their last 5 outings, the team is currently placed at the bottom of the points table and is already eliminated from the race to the playoffs.

While the Royal Challengers have had some brilliant individual performances, they have failed to do well as a team and that has cost them quite a few matches. Ellyse Perry has been in red-hot form with the bat and has scored 4 half-centuries in her last 7 innings. She is also the leading run-scorer of her team.

Similarly, Georgia Wareham has bowled well to pick up 11 wickets and is among the highest wicket-takers of the season. However, barring the duo, no one else has been able to contribute. Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt-Hodge have struggled against the new ball and are averaging under 25 runs.

S Meghana, who was playing her first match of the season on Saturday, and Richa Ghosh also scored a half-century. However, these runs are a bit too little too late.

All RCB can do now is try to end their campaign on a positive note and get some solace before the season ends for them.

MI-W vs RCB-W Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 WT20 matches played at the Brabourne Stadium have been won while chasing. Also, in 4 of the last 10 WPL matches played here, the team winning the toss has opted to bowl first. Looking at the stats, we feel that batting first might be a good option in this match.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium is usually good to bat on. The surface is flat and offers good carry and bounce. There is some grass on the surface and the seamers will get some help early in the innings. The team batting first will look to score over 180 runs here. The spinners will get some turn once the ball gets older.

The weather will be warm and humid with temperatures around 30 degrees. There might be some dew on the ground during the second half.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have struggled over the last few weeks and appear to be low on confidence. On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have been clinical in their performance this season and are likely to continue to playing well.
