Unaltered RCB chooses to bat; Mumbai welcomes back Bhatia


If Harmanpreet had won the toss and Royal Challengers Bangalore had chosen to bat against the Mumbai Indians in Delhi during the 2024 WPL elimination round, she would have been "very confused" about her choice.
Smriti Mandhana, the captain of the RCB, desired early runs because the score "might start keeping low in the second innings." They don't change from the starting lineup that faced Mumbai in their most recent group match a few days ago.
Priyanka Bala has not played, but wicketkeeper-battler Yastika Bhatia, who was absent from Mumbai's last match owing to sickness, has returned. Though she was "very confused," Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that she was also leaning toward batting first.

Harmanpreet explained, "We had nice runs on the board in the powerplay," of Mumbai's most recent innings against the RCB, which they lost by seven wickets. However, we didn't carry on after that. We had some solid batting in spots. We want to perform well because we have learned a lot from the last game.
Pitch No. 3 will be used for the game. The fine-leg boundary was 50 meters, while the square bounds were 63 and 46 meters in length.
The team that has pursued has won every WPL encounter between these two teams. However, before this game, teams batting first in Delhi had won six of the previous nine encounters.

First Hayley Matthews, second Yastika Bhatia (wk), third Nat Sciver-Brunt, fourth Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), fifth Amelia Kerr, sixth Amanjot Kaur, seventh Pooja Vastrakar, eighth S Sajana, ninth Humaira Kazi, tenth Shabnim Ismail, among the Mumbai Indians 11 Saika Ishaque
The Royal Challengers Bangalore: 7 Georgia Wareham, 8 Disha Kasat, 9 Asha Sobhana, 10 Shradda Pokharkar, 11 Renuka Singh; 1 Smriti Mandhana (captain); 2 Sophie Molineux; 3 Ellyse Perry; 4 Sophie Devine; 5 Richa Ghosh (wk); 6
