BAN-W vs MI-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, WPL 2024
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women go head to head with Mumbai Indians Women in Match 9 of the 2024 Women’s Premier League in Bengaluru on Saturday. Both teams have played three, won two and lost one so far in the tournament. Read on as we preview this fixture. This evening game gets underway at 19:30 local time on 2nd March at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
RCB Women were beaten for the first time in this year’s WPL on Thursday as they went down by 25 runs against Delhi Capitals Women. However, a win in this match will see them go top of the table and we would not be surprised to see them do so.
Mumbai Indians Women came up against a UP Warriorz Women’s side who produced their best performance in the last game. As a result they lost for the first time but with talent throughout their side they should have enough quality to respond with a victory.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women Team News & Playing 11
BAN-W Team News
There was a surprise at the toss on Thursday evening when captain Smriti Mandhana included Nadine de Klerk on her team sheet with Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry missing out through illness. With only 48 hours between fixtures, we are not expecting Perry to be back for this clash.
BAN-W Key Players
- Sabbhineni Meghana- the right-hander was disappointingly run-out in the last fixture but has been very consistent in WPL 2024 and is yet to post a score under 36!
- Smriti Mandhana- the captain comes into this game in fine form with 117 runs across her last two innings and 13 boundaries in Thursday’s game.
- Renuka Singh- the 28 year old right-arm swing bowler was the most economical of the RCB Women’s bowling attack in Match 7 and we expect her to be hard to face again in this match.
- Nadine de Klerk- although she struggled with the bat, it was an impressive first appearance of the season with the ball for the South African who took two wickets on Thursday.
BAN-W Team Form
After winning their opening two games, RCB Women were looking for their third successive victory but their challenge faded away in Thursday’s match.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women Predicted Playing 11
Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Sabbhineni Meghana, Nadine de Klerk, Richa Ghosh (wk), Georgia Wareham, Sophie Molineux, Shreyanka Patil, Simran Bahadur, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Singh

Both skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and experienced pace bowler Shabnim Ismail had slight injuries ahead of Mumbai Indians Women’s clash with UP Warriorz Women on Wednesday. Issy Wong and Humaira Kazi came in with Nat Sciver-Brunt captaining the side. Although they will want Kaur back, she will not be risked if there are doubts.
MI-W Key Players
- Hayley Matthews- the 25 year old has improved on her previous score in each innings so far in the competition and hit nine fours as well as a six in the last game.
- Yastika Bhatia- the keeper-batter opened the tournament with 57 against Delhi Capitals Women and has been in good form behind the stumps in all three matches.
- Issy Wong- the 21 year old England Women’s right-arm fast medium bowler made an immediate impact in her first appearance of the season and she looks set to have another very strong WPL.
- Amelia Kerr- the New Zealander is a brilliantly consistent player who has hit a double-figure score with the bat alongside taking at least one wicket in nine of her last ten appearances.
MI-W Team Form
Mumbai Indians Women had impressed in this year’s WPL before being well beaten by UP Warriorz Women in the last game.
