MI-W vs RCB-W: Team Previews

Mumbai Indians Women

The Mumbai brigade, with a tally of 10 points from eight games, marked by five victories against three defeats, is walking into the WPL 2024 Eliminator following a setback—a thumping seven-wicket loss at the hands of RCB-W, the very nemesis they had beaten earlier in the tournament.

With their backs against the wall, Mumbai Indians Women are looking to reignite their winning spark. The loss in their last outing, where their batting lineup faltered, must have only fuelled their resolution to come back stronger, knowing all too well that any slip-up now would shatter their dreams of a consecutive title run.

On the other hand, RCB Women's journey to the Eliminator has been a tale of highs and lows, with an even record of four wins and four losses from their eight encounters, placing them in the third position with 8 points. 

The RCB-W squad, however, is not short on confidence, bolstered by their recent win over the mighty MI Women.

With stars like Ellyse Perry shining bright and the onus on seasoned campaigners Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine to lead from the front, RCB will aim to turn the tables once again. They will be banking on their skills and past performance to upset the applecart in this clash of monumental proportions.

MI-W vs RCB-W: Delhi Pitch Report

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has favoured teams batting first. The surface tends to slow down as the games have progressed, making stroke play difficult. With nine matches played at this venue during WPL 2024, teams batting first have won six games as compared to chasing teams, who have emerged victorious only on three occasions. As the captains walk out for the toss, the option of choosing to bat first and putting a big total on the board could very well be the difference between extending the campaign or packing the kit bags.
