Match Preview
Reigning champions Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore will battle it out in the eliminator of the WPL 2024. Mumbai sealed their playoff spot after finishing second in the WPL standings, whereas RCB made a solid comeback in the tournament to finish third and book their berth in the knockout stage. The team that comes on top of the match will clash against Delhi Capitals Women in the final encounter of the tournament.
Toss Prediction
The upcoming eliminator clash between Indians and RCB-W will be the third occasion both teams will go head-to-head in the current season of the tournament. In the previous two encounters, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana came on top in one toss battle each. For the next match, we think Mandhana would get lucky in the toss war and would win the toss over her rival captain.
Win Possibility
Mumbai Indians would aim for their second consecutive final. Kaur and her squad have had decent performances throughout the season, but the team would be required to deliver their best, considering the upcoming game is a knockout match. Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a curvy season, but the Bengaluru-based franchise came up with decent performances in the later phase to book themselves a spot in the tournament’s knock-out stage.
The team performed as a unit in the entire season and would want to continue with the same kind of performance in the eliminator round. Given that they recently beat Mumbai, the mood must be upbeat in the RCB dressing room. However, Mumbai is the reigning champion and has secured more wins than Mandhana and Co. in the WPL 2024. Hence, we think Harmanpreet Kaur and her women would push themselves to secure a berth in the second consecutive final and defeat RCB.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Arun Jaitley Stadium of New Delhi will host the Eliminator match of the second edition of the Women’s Premier League. The average first-inning score of the stadium for the tournament is around 170, and it is likely to be somewhere between 160-165 in the upcoming match. The powerplay score of the match is expected to be between 48-54.
