With the group stage of the 2024 Women’s Premier League now completed, Mumbai Indians Women take on Royal Challengers Bangalore Women in the Eliminator on Friday evening with a place in the final against Delhi Capitals Women up for grabs. Mumbai Indians Women won five group stage games with RCB Women winning four. Read on as we preview this clash which gets underway at the Arun Jaitley Stadium at 19:30 local time on March 15th.
Mumbai Indians Women found themselves on the wrong side of the result against RCB Women in Match 19 thanks to an extraordinary performance from Ellyse Perry but we expect them to be able to come up with a display which takes them through to the final.
RCB Women will comes into this match full of confidence after winning the final group stage game between the sides. However, they will need more of a team performance in this match if they are to win again. We expect this to be a tougher assignment for RCB Women.

Mumbai Indians Women Team News & Playing 11
MI-W Team News
Although there will be pressure on the Mumbai Indians Women’s team management to make changes to the XI after they were beaten by 7 wickets with 30 ball remaining in the last match with RCB Women, they have succeeded with a stable side throughout the tournament and we expect to see the same side picked for this game.
MI-W Key Players
- Harmanpreet Kaur – The skipper missed a couple of games during the group stage due to injury but still comes into this match as Mumbai Indians Women’s highest run scorer in the tournament.
- Amelia Kerr – The New Zealand all-rounder began the competition in excellent form with bat and ball but it is her batting which has been the most consistent across this WPL.
- Shabnim Ismail – The experienced South African pace bowler has kept the runs down whilst taking regular wickets throughout this campaign.
- Saika Ishaque – The 28 year old slow-left-arm orthodox bowler had a poor game in the last group stage match so will be keen to make amends in this Eliminator.

Mumbai Indians Women arrive at this knockout fixture after losing two of their last four matches in the WPL 2024.

BAN-W Team News
With none of their eight bowlers conceding more than nine runs per over and six of them taking at least one wicket, there are no players who deserve to be left out of the RCB Women’s line up for this game. Furthermore, no injuries have been reported in the squad.
BAN-W Key Players
- Smriti Mandhana – As one of only five players to have scored over 250 runs in the tournament so far, the RCB Women’s skipper is a potential match-winner in this Eliminator.
- Ellyse Perry – The Australian all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award in Match 19 after taking 6/15 and then hitting six boundaries. Mumbai Indians Women will be wary of her ahead of this game.
- Asha Sobhana – The 32 year old spinner is looking to make it three games in a row with at least one wicket. She will look to tempt the batters to take her on in this game.
- Sophie Molineux – The Australian left-arm spinner has best figures of 3/25 in the tournament and picked up a dismissal in the win in the last head to head.
BAN-W Team Form
RCB Women had lost three of their previous four games before their dominant victory in the final group stage game.

Although RCB Women were clearly the better team in their last head to head, Mumbai Indians Women have been the stronger side across the tournament and we have them as the top team ahead of this match.
🏆 Mumbai Indians Women vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women Prediction
Mumbai Indians Women will be hoping that they got their very bad batting performance out of their system in the last game but there will be some unconfident batters making their way to the crease in this match. RCB Women will certainly turn up at the ground fancying their chances of getting the better of Mumbai Indians Women once more but we do not think it will be quite so easy. Our prediction is for a very close contest but we expect the big name players for Mumbai Indians to deliver and take their team through to the final.
