RCB and MI are set to face off in the WPL 2024 match on March 2. Both teams have the same tally so far in the tournament, having played 3 matches, won 2, and suffered defeat in one game each. However, with a better net run rate, the Royal Challengers have secured the 2nd spot in the WPL points table, while the Mumbai Indians women’s team is currently standing in 4th position. The winner of the match will climb to the top of the table.
Both teams possess star names in both batting and bowling departments. An equally contested match can be expected on Saturday. RCB’s Smriti Mandhana has been in excellent form, scoring 130 runs in the first 3 matches of the season. On the other hand, Mumbai’s skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, is the top run-getter for her team this season. Despite missing the last game, she has scored 101 runs in the two matches she played.
BAN-W vs MI-W Pitch Report
Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the match, the venue where all the previous 8 matches of the season have been played. It has proven to be a good scoring venue. However, a good start is needed to reach a big total, and the play in the power-play will be crucial. The department that dominates in the power-play is expected to thrive throughout the innings. Winning the toss and choosing to bat first can be a wise decision on the Chinnaswamy wicket.
