Courtesy of an unbelievable spell by Ellyse Perry (6/15), RCB steamrolled past Mumbai in their latest encounter against each other. That might certainly play a part for both teams heading into this match.

While Bangalore would have their noses in front, Mumbai would be adamant about making amends this time around. Having said that, their last victory was RCB's first-ever win against MI in the WPL after four games.

Overall, the Women in Blue and Gold have had an edge over the Challengers, and might continue their dominance in the must-win encounter as well.

While both franchises have a star-studded batting line-up, RCB's bowling has not been able to put up consistent performances. In the last four of their six games, they have leaked 175 runs or more, despite the first-innings average total in Delhi being 160 this tournament.
