WPL 2025: Predicting Mumbai Indians Women’s playing XI against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women

Mumbai Indians who started the WPL 2025 season with a loss against Delhi Capitals, rebounded with a win in their second match. Harmanpreet Kaur and her side beat Gujarat Giants to claim their first win of the season. Their next match is against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru who have won both their games. ‘

In the last game, Mumbai bowled out Gujarat for 120 and won the game by five wickets and 23 balls to spare. It was a huge win that not only earned Mumbai Indians two points but also bettered their run rate. The game against RCB will be huge for Mumbai as they wouldn’t want to encounter yet another loss in the early stages of the tournament. 

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur speaking after the game said “Really happy everything went according to our plans. Six overs are very important in the first innings. We picked the right bowlers for the first six. Want to be more consistent. Have a great team and a balanced side” 

Here is the likely Mumbai Indians XI vs RCB

Top order – Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia

West Indian star Hayley Matthews didn’t make a great start to WPL 2025 as she was out for a duck against Delhi. In the game against Gujarat, the West Indian star scored 17 with the bat with three boundaries. Yastika Bhatia has scored steady runs with the bat and will want to convert her starts. 

Middle Order – Nat Sciver Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur, Amelia Kerr

Natalie Sciver-Brunt has been the best player for Mumbai Indians in the first two matches with two successive fifties. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur hasn’t hit her strides yet and will want to get back to scoring runs and helping her team win. Amelia Kerr has been one of the best T20 players and has been a key and consistent performer for MI. 

Lower-order- Sajeevan Sajana, G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur

The lower middle order consists of the exciting duo Kamalini and Amanjot Kaur. Both players are highly rated in the domestic circuit and are touted to play international cricket soon. Sajeevan Sajana will want to achieve the same highs with the bat and ball as she did in 2024. 

Tail enders – Shabnim Ismail, Sanskriti Gupta, and Parunika Sisodia 

South African pace ace Shabnim Ismail bowled well to pick 1/17 from her four overs. Ismail showed great promise with the ball and bowled well with the new cherry in hand. Sanskriti Gupta and Parinika Sisodia will want to start chipping in after being virtual bystanders in the first two matches.
