🏏 WPL 2024: Match 19: MI W vs RCB W at Arun Jaitley StadiumDelhi🏏
Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be coming into today's contest with different motives.
While one would be eyeing the top spot on the points table, the other would be chasing a top-three finish. For either to find themselves there, they would need a win.
A win secures RCB a place in the top three. A loss, on the other hand, depending on the margin, leaves hopes open for the Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz to make it to the next round. Similar is the situation for Mumbai Indians in their battle for the top spot alongside the Delhi Capitals.
Both teams are also coming off having faced contrasting results in tight finishes in their respective previous games. While Harmanpreet Kaur's blazing 95 powered the Mumbai Indians to an unlikely victory over Gujarat Giants, RCB came close but fell one short against the Delhi Capitals.
More importantly, while MI are more or more settled in their style of play extending from the previous season, and have found some additional support from Amanjot Kaur and S Sajana this season, RCB are still to find their perfect batting combination with the existing personnel.
In that department, the reliance, for now, continues to be heavily on Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Richa Ghosh. In their last league game, they would need the Sophies - Devine and Molineux - to play more impactful roles with the bat.
It's all headed for an exciting finish to the league stage.
