Match Preview:
The Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore will lock horns in the WPL 2024 eliminator at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Ahead of this fixture, both teams have put forth stunning performances which ensured qualification for the knockout stage of the tournament. Both Mumbai and Bangalore have played each other twice with both teams winning one game a piece. But in their recent clash, RCB registered a massive seven-wicket in Delhi.
Pitch Report:
The tracks in Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi have been incredible batting tracks with each game seeing scores north of 170. The shorter dimensions of the stadium allow batters to score runs and hit boundaries comfortably, especially in the first innings. But fast bowlers, with the new ball, can find swing while spinners will also have turn to operate as the pitch tends to slow down.
Team Analysis:
Mumbai Indians
Unlike the 2023 season, this WPL hasn’t been smooth sailing for the Mumbai Indians as they have suffered three big losses in 2024. But still, MI has maintained its dominance with star all-rounders like Nat-Sciver Brunt and Amelia Kerr performing across departments. Another massive plus for Mumbai is the form of fast bowler Shabnim Ismail. These efforts combined with Harmanpreet Kaur’s stunning form, the MI will be a fierce opponent in the eliminator.
