Royal Challengers Bangalore has decided to bowl against Mumbai Indians.
In the Delhi leg of the WPL 2024, captain Smriti Mandhana of Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and chose to bowl against the Mumbai Indians, defying convention. If RCB wins this last group stage game, they'll guarantee a postseason berth. In the event of a loss, UP Warriorz, Gujarat Giants, and the net run rate will determine the outcome in a three-way battle.
Each of the two teams enters the match with differing outcomes. On Saturday, Mumbai overcame the Giants with the help of Harmanpreet's incredible attack, while on Sunday, RCB lost to Delhi Capitals by a single run.
It's a brand-new wicket. Mandhana expressed her choice to bowl by saying, "It will be good to know the total." RCB has remained loyal to the squad that was defeated by the Capitals.
After having to chase in the last few games, Harmanpreet stated that she was looking to bat anyhow. Yastika Bhatia's illness caused Mumbai to make one forced adjustment. Priyanka Bala, a WPL rookie, who plays as a wicketkeeper-batter for Bengal, has taken her spot. Bengal teammate Saika Ishaque gave Bala her cap.
Mumbai and the Capitals have already secured a postseason berth. They can go to the top of the standings with a victory tonight, but the Capitals still have a game to play.
"RCB Women won by 7 wickets (with 30 balls remaining)."
