In the penultimate league stage match of the ongoing Women’s Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women will be battling it out against Mumbai Indians Women on Tuesday at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Mumbai Indians Women are comfortably placed on the second position in the points table, having qualified for the playoffs. 

They have won five games from their seven outings, conceding two defeats as well. They have 10 points along with the negative NRR +0.343. The result of this match will have no impact on Mumbai Indians, however, a win will push them to the top in the points table. 

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be heading into their must-win game in their bid to strengthen their chances for a place into the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered their latest defeat in their last game against Delhi Capitals. 

However, Royal Challengers Bangalore are on the third place in points table with three victories and four losses from seven games. A defeat for them in this game will take them to the fourth place that will ruin their prospects of getting into the playoffs. To stay away from such nuisance, RCB would look forward to having their win in order to amplify their chances for the playoffs. 

RCB-W Probable XI: Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh (wk), Disha Kasat, Georgia Wareham, Sophie Molineux, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Shraddha Pokharkar, Renuka Thakur Singh

MI-W Probable XI: Yastika Bhatia (wk), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, S Sajana, Pooja Vastrakar, Humaira Kazi, Shabnim Ismail, Saika Ishaque
