Leg-spin all-rounder Amelia Kerr has been brought in to replace injured seam-bowler Nicola Carey in the Mumbai Indians team. Royal Challengers Bengaluru chose to bowl first after winning the toss in the 2026 WPL clash at the BCA Stadium. RCB has secured a playoff spot, while MI, with two wins from six games, is still in contention due to a better net run rate.
RCB captain Smriti Mandhana mentioned that the team’s playing eleven remains unchanged. She highlighted the impact of dew at Baroda and the varying pitch conditions. Mandhana emphasized the importance of quick decision-making, understanding batting situations, and setting a competitive score.
Amelia Kerr, stepping in for the injured Nicola, stressed the significance of a positive approach in the match. She expressed the team’s focus on executing their training strategies and discussions effectively. Both teams are gearing up for a crucial game, aiming to deliver their best performance and play proactive cricket.
