After a tough defeat yesterday, Mandhana-led RCB are read to take on the dominating team Mumbai Indians.
It will be exciting to watch two of the best Indian cricketers leading their franchises for an incredible game tonight.
RCB have won the toss and opted to bat first. Here’s what captain Smriti had to say –
“We would like to bat first. It is looks like a good wicket to bat on and chasing builds pressure. We had a chat in the meeting that thinking about totals would not help, we have to play to our strengths and we will get the big total. One of the top four batters has to bat deep and if we can do that then we will post good totals.”

Because there are only five teams in the tournament, the turnaround between games is quick, and teams must adjust to this schedule. Royal Challengers Bangalore played yesterday and play today against Mumbai Indians. Both teams have had contrasting results; Mumbai thrashed Gujarat, while Bangalore was thrashed by Delhi.
🚨 Team News 🚨@mipaltan remain unchanged.
1⃣ change for @RCBTweets as Shreyanka Patil is named in the team.
