MI-W vs RCB-W Match Preview

The Mumbai Indians Women had a difficult season last year. They lost five consecutive matches after winning the first two. Smriti Mandhana and her team will be missing some key players from last year. Mumbai Indians Women have a star-studded lineup. The bowling attack varies greatly. The middle order features some big names from cricket worldwide, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur can be confident that one of them will step up and win the game. Rahila Firdous took over Yastika Bhatia as the team's wicket-keeper batter this year. Nicola Carey replaces Chloe Tryon as an all-rounder. Ellyse Perry, a batting all-rounder, is not the only player missing from the RCB Women's squad this season.
