TEAMS PREVIEW

Mumbai Indians Preview

The Mumbai Indians Women have done well this season and live up to their reputation. The side defeated the Gujarat Giants Women in the last game by 9 runs and is enjoying a purple patch. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur would aim to exploit the weaknesses in the RCB camp, a big win, and book a berth directly in the final.  

Openers Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr will look to give a good start and take on the RCB bowlers in the early overs. Nat Sciver-Brunt is having a dream run in the tournament and shall look to build partnerships in the middle order with Harmanpreet Kaur and Amanjot Kaur. Sanjeevan Sajana and Yastika Bhatia add firepower to the batting with their hitting abilities.  

Shabnim Ismail did well in the last game and will aim to deliver a good start by sharing the new ball with Nat Sciver-Brunt. Hayley Matthews will look to bring her experience to play and do well in the middle overs with Parunika Sisodia. Sanskriti Gupta and Amelia Kerr complete a strong bowling attack for the team.

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI:

Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, Sajeevan Sajana, G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia

Mumbai Indians Actual Playing XI:

Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Sajeevan Sajana, Sanskriti Gupta, Amanjot Kaur, Amelia Kerr, Natalie Sciver, Kamalini , Yastika Bhatia, Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia

Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview

Smriti Mandhana and her team are out of contention for the next round. In the last game, the side went down by 12 runs against the UP Warriorz Women and sealed their fate. Mandhana would be upset with this performance as they started the season with back-to-back wins but failed to win a single game since. As they end their campaign, Mandhana would like to finish with a win.  

Their batters have done well this season, and the team expects a good start in the game from Smriti Mandhana and Sabbhineni Meghana. Raghvi Bist, Ellyse Perry, and Richa Ghosh are good hitters and look to cement big stands in the middle overs. The team also expects runs in the lower middle order from Georgia Wareham and Kanika Ahuja.  

The bowling attack has let the team down in most games. The side expects Renuka Singh Thakur and Kim Garth to strike with the new ball, as Mumbai has a strong batting lineup. Charlotte Dean and Ellyse Perry must bowl tighter spells in the middle overs. The team will also need a good show in the ing role from Wareham and Sneh Rana.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Predicted Playing XI:

Smriti Mandhana (c), Sabbhineni Meghana, Ellyse Perry, Raghvi Bist, Richa Ghosh (wk), Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, Charlotte Dean, Kim Garth, Sneh Rana, Renuka Singh Thakur

Royal Challengers Bangalore Actual Playing XI:

Smriti Mandhana, Sabbhineni Meghana, Kanika Ahuja, Ellyse Perry, Georgia Wareham, VJ Joshitha, Prema Rawat, Richa Ghosh, Kim Garth, Heather Graham, Sneh Rana

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect a pleasant evening in Mumbai; the conditions will benefit the bat. The wicket would be flat, and the ball would come onto the bat nicely. Bowlers have struggled in previous games here. A score of 180 or more would be a must for the side batting first in this game.

MIW vs RCBW Pitch Report

Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, has an excellent batting surface and a fast outfield. The bounce on this track is true, allowing batters to play on the rise. It is a challenging venue for fast bowlers as the wicket doesn't offer lateral movement. Spinners have done well, as the dry nature of the surface helps them turn the ball sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen high-scoring contests in this tournament. The wicket is flat, making it difficult for the teams to set scores. Most sides have won games here chasing scores. The side winning the toss shall look to bowl first in this game.
