However, they suffered a thumping defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) by 25 runs to sit second in the standings with four points from three games. Led by Smriti Mandhana, RCB will look to bounce back with a spot at the top table up for grabs.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have slipped to the fourth spot in the WPL 2024 points table. They also boast four points from three games but have an inferior net run rate. Mumbai will hope to return to winning ways after losing their last game against UP Warriorz.

While the stage is set for a nail-biting contest, there is some relief for fans as well. The temperature is expected to be pleasant, hovering between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius. The humidity is also expected to be in the 30s.
