WPL 2024, MI-W vs RCB-W: Team Previews

Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W)

Mumbai Indians Women have encountered defeat only twice throughout this campaign, arriving at this match following convincing victories over Gujarat Giants Women and UP Warriorz Women. However, facing RCB Women promises a tougher challenge, as they are positioned higher in the table compared to Mumbai's previous opponents.

The star of Mumbai Indians Women, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, showcased her powerful display of batting in the last game by scoring an unbeaten 95 runs from just 48 balls, including ten fours and five sixes. Her stellar performance sets high expectations for the upcoming match, and RCB Women will need a formidable effort to halt Mumbai's momentum.

Under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, MI Women have been dominant in WPL 2024, becoming the first team to secure a playoff spot after they triumphed over Gujarat Giants. With 5 wins out of 7 games, Mumbai Indians Women boast a robust batting lineup, posing a significant challenge to their opponents in the league.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (RCB-W)

Despite losing four of their last five matches, including the last two, RCB Women showed resilience in their recent game against Delhi Capitals Women, narrowly missing out on victory by just 1 run.

Shreyanka Patil's impressive bowling figures of 4/26 and notable contributions with the bat from Ellyse Perry (49) and Richa Ghosh (51) nearly turned the game around, showcasing the team's potential for a comeback after their disappointing loss to Gujarat Giants Women in the previous game.
