It's time for the final group stage game in the ongoing Women's Premier League 2025 (WPL), where Mumbai Indians Women (MIW) are all set to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCBW) in the 20th match to be played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. This encounter will take place on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, from 7:30 PM IST.

The Mumbai Indians side, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, have already qualified for the playoffs, and the only thing for them now is to make their way straight through to the finals if they manage to ace this one. With five wins in seven matches, while having 10 points, the MI are placed second on the table.

Conversely, the RCB are at the bottom of the table with just two wins in seven matches, while having four points. They started their campaign on a high with two consecutive wins, while losing the next five to sum off their dismal campaign before getting eliminated.

Therefore, let's have a look at how the pitch at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai will behave throughout this game.

Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The surface at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is expected to dish out another high-scoring game after the previous match that happened here between MI and the Gujarat Giants (GG). MI put up 179 on the board after batting first and defended the total successfully by nine runs in a thrilling encounter.

Expect this pitch to be a similar one with 175 plus expected to be the winning total. The pacers are likely to get a bit of seam movement early on, but not for long when spinners come in to bowl, as the ball is likely to grip and turn more, evident in the last game that happened here. Out of the 13 wickets that were taken by bowlers, 10 went into the spinners' tally, while only three were picked by pacers in the last match.

The side batting first will have to put up a score exceeding 170 to give themselves a chance, as chasing becomes easier under lights. Again, the teams will be dependent on spinners to pick wickets, as in all WPL matches that have happened here, spinners have accounted for 88 wickets, while pacers have managed to grab 36 scalps at this venue. Therefore, the side winning the toss will likely bowl first at this venue, as chasing will likely be preferred.
