Smriti Mandhana-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will lock horns against Harmanpreet Kaur’s Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Friday.
The Bengaluru-based franchise won just two matches in their previous five games and ended the league in third place on the WPL standings with 8 points. Mandhana’s side played eight league games and won four matches in the second season of the tournament.
On the other hand, Mumbai ended the league in second place with 10 points after winning 5 of 8 matches. In their previous five matches, Harmanpreet’s side won three games.
RCB are coming into this game after sealing a 7-wicket win over Mumbai on March 12. The previous win will surely boost the RCB’s confidence before they face off again in the eliminator.
RCB started the tournament with good form and won two consecutive matches. However, they lost a moment from the third game and lost to Delhi Capitals and MI in their third and fourth match of the WPL 2024. Throughout the ongoing season, Mandhana’s side failed to maintain momentum.
At the same time, the Mumbai-based franchise also failed to keep momentum in the WPL 2024. They kicked off the second season of WPL with a win against Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants in the opening two matches of the tournament. But later, conceded defeat against UP Warriorz, DC and RCB.
