MIW vs RCBW Team Previews

Mumbai Indians Women

The defending champions played some excellent cricket this season and have cruised along to the playoffs. They will now look to overcome the Royal Challengers, to whom they lost a match earlier this week, and face Delhi in the finals for the second consecutive season.

The Mumbai Indians are home to some of the best all-rounders in the league who can not only score runs at a brisk pace, but can also pick up wickets at regular intervals. Nat Sciver-Brunt is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets and has also scored 149 runs.

Similarly, Amelia Kerr has scored 188 runs and picked up 7 wickets. Hayley Matthews, who opens the batting for the team has also picked up 5 wickets. Harmanpreet Kaur is the leading run-scorer for the team and will be the key batter for Mumbai.

Shabnim Ismail and Pooja Vastrakar have bowled well in tandem to pick up 13 wickets, while Saika Ishaque has kept the opposition on a leash during the middle overs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women

Despite suffering a few hiccups during the group stages, the Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to gain their first entry into the playoffs after defeating Mumbai in the latest fixture.

The Royal Challengers have a strong top order that is capable of taking apart any bowling attack on its day. Smriti Mandhana is the top batter for the team with 259 runs and is followed closely by Richa Ghosh and Ellyse Perry. S Meghana has chipped in with a couple of nice cameos.

However, the form of some of the team’s all-rounders, especially Sophie Devine, and Georgia Wareham has been a bit inconsistent, especially with the bat. The spinners have done an excellent job for the team Asha Sobhana is the leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets and has been well-supported by Sophie Molineux and Shreyanka Patil.

Full-time seamer Renuka Singh has struggled a bit as she has managed to pick up only 2 wickets so far.

MIW vs RCBW Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally good to bat on. However, since the stadium has hosted quite a few matches in the last week, there will be some rough spots that the bowlers, especially the seamers, can exploit.

The average first-inning score on this ground is between 170 and 180, and that is exactly what the team batting first will be aiming for.

The weather is likely to remain clear with temperatures of below 20 degrees. 

MIW vs RCBW Betting Tips

Both, the RCB and MI have played well to get this far in the season and we can expect a cracker of a contest between the two. While none of the teams enjoy a significant advantage over the other, we feel that the Mumbai Indians have a slight edge thanks to the depth in batting they possess.

Bet on the Mumbai Indians W to win.
