MI-W vs RCB-W Betting Tips
Smriti Mandhana to score Over 24.5 runs
Smriti Mandhana has been in outstanding form this season and is currently Royal Challengers Bangalore’s leading run-scorer, averaging an impressive 46.00. She has crossed the 25-run mark in four of her last five innings, including a well-made half-century. Given her consistency at the top of the order and her ability to handle quality bowling attacks, backing Mandhana to score over 24.5 runs looks like a solid value pick for this match.
Highest individual score Under 65.5
Batting at the Kotambi Stadium has not been straightforward, with the pitch offering assistance to bowlers throughout the match. None of the last three games played at this venue has produced an individual score of 66 or more runs. With overcast conditions expected, the bowlers are likely to enjoy additional help, making it difficult for batters to play long, dominant innings. As a result, backing the highest individual score to stay under 65.5 runs is a sensible option.

MI-W vs RCB-W Team Previews
Mumbai Indians Women
The defending champions have struggled for consistency this season, winning just two of their six matches so far. Currently placed fourth on the points table, another defeat could leave them on the brink of elimination.
Mumbai are yet to settle on a reliable opening combination. Hayley Matthews and S Sajana have both found it difficult against the new ball and are averaging under 18 runs per innings. This has placed additional pressure on Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur, who are the team’s top two run-scorers this season. While Nicola Carey and Amanjot Kaur have made useful contributions, they need to convert starts into substantial scores.
The pace attack, comprising Nat Sciver-Brunt, Shabnim Ismail, and Nicola Carey, has quality but has leaked runs at crucial stages. Meanwhile, spinners Sanskriti Gupta and Vaishnavi Sharma have struggled to apply pressure in the middle overs. Mumbai will need a much-improved all-round performance to challenge RCB in this match.
Mumbai Indians Women Expected Playing 11
S Sajana, Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Rahila Firdous (WK), Nicola Carey, Amanjot Kaur, Vaishnavi Sharma, Poonam Khemnar, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women
After a flawless start to their campaign, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered their first defeat of the season against the Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Despite that setback, they have already secured qualification for the playoffs and remain one of the most balanced sides in the tournament.
Smriti Mandhana continues to lead from the front and was once again the top run-scorer in the previous match. She will, however, be hoping for more consistency from Grace Harris, who has shown flashes of brilliance but remains inconsistent. The middle order looks solid with Georgia Voll and Richa Ghosh, while the all-rounders—Sayali Satghare, Gautami Naik, and Nadine de Klerk—add valuable depth.
De Klerk has been exceptional with the ball, picking up 10 wickets so far and leading the pace attack alongside Lauren Bell, Sayali Satghare, and Arundhati Reddy. The spin department, featuring Shreyanka Patil and Radha Yadav, provides control during the middle overs, making RCB a well-rounded unit.

MI-W vs RCB-W Toss Prediction
There has been an even split between teams batting first and chasing in the four matches played at this venue this season. However, considering the conditions on offer, the team winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Kotambi Stadium is expected to offer a balanced contest. Seamers should get some early movement, but once batters settle in, scoring opportunities will open up. The average first-innings reminder is around 160, and any total above 170 could prove challenging to chase. Bowlers who maintain a disciplined, wicket-to-wicket line are likely to be rewarded.
The weather is expected to remain overcast, with no rain forecast and temperatures hovering around 25°C.
MI-W vs RCB-W: Who Will Win?
We are backing Royal Challengers Bangalore Women to win this match. They have been far more consistent throughout the tournament and boast a strong batting line-up along with a well-balanced bowling attack. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, are struggling with form and confidence, which puts them at a disadvantage going into this crucial fixture.
Bet on Royal Challengers Bangalore Women to win.
