MI-W vs RCB-W Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter: Smriti Mandhana
The Indian opening batter and RCB skipper has looked in good touch so far. Though she provides her side with the idea start, she has failed to convert that into a big score. In the upcoming game, Mandhana would be looking to put up a big score against Gujarat and lead her side from the front.
Probable best bowler: Ashleigh Gardner
The Australian all-rounder was at her best during the Women’s T20 World Cup but has not shown her best side yet at the WPL. In two games, she has managed to score only 25 runs and has picked up just one wicket. But she will be eyeing to turn the tables around and grab everyone’s attention with her all-round brilliance.
