The Mumbai Indians Women have been in outstanding form this season, winning 5 of their last 6 matches. Having already secured a spot in the knockouts, a victory here would propel them to the top of the table, granting them a direct entry into the finals.

Matthews has consistently provided solid starts and contributed with the ball, taking 12 wickets, while Amelia Kerr leads the wicket-taking charts with 13 dismissals.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women 

The Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, the reigning champions, have struggled to replicate their past success this season. With five consecutive defeats in their last five matches, they find themselves at the bottom of the points table and are already out of contention for the playoffs.

Despite some outstanding individual performances, RCB-W has struggled to perform cohesively as a team, leading to several disappointing losses. Ellyse Perry has been in sensational form with the bat, notching up four half-centuries in her last seven innings and emerging as the team’s leading run-scorer.

Georgia Wareham has also impressed with the ball, claiming 11 wickets to rank among the tournament’s top wicket-takers. However, beyond these two, contributions from the rest of the squad have been lacking. Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt-Hodge have found it difficult to handle the new ball, both averaging under 25 runs.

S Meghana, making her season debut on Saturday, and Richa Ghosh managed to score half-centuries, but their efforts came too late to make a difference. With their playoff hopes already dashed, RCB’s focus now shifts to finishing the season on a high note and salvaging some pride before bowing out.
