Royal Challengers will be facing the Mumbai Indians in the eliminator today, the winner among the two will meet Delhi Capitals in the final.
Both teams have done the match rehearsal couple of days back where Mumbai Indians were all out for just 113 runs, a special bowling performance by Elysse Perry with 6 wickets. RCB chased down the total in just 15 overs.
Main points :-
1)Sajeevan Sajana interestingly opened for Mumbai Indians in the last match and played a good knock of 30 runs in 21 balls. She opened in place of Yastika Bhatia and she should be back at the top of the order for this crunch game.
2)RCB is also trying some options at the opening position, Sophie Molineux opened for them couple of times in the tournament so far and has put up good performaces.
1) 1.5 crore mega league team :-
Its very risky to leave any of the 6 all rounders, if RCB goes by their slogan play bold, they can open again with Sophie Molineux so she is good option for vice captain and Elysse Perry is in great form she will surely be looking to give her best in this crunch game.
2)Small contest team:-
Mumbai Indians definitely need Nat Sciver Brunt to bring her best in this game, along with Harmanpreet who has played some good knocks recovering from the bad form before the WPL. Rest of the team is same. If you want to experiement a little can replace Yastika with Sajeevan Sajana and also replace S Ismail with Pooja Vastrakar who also can get some time in middle for batting and Bangalore Women will certainly not take any chance against Shabnam Ismail.
3)Head to head team:-
When your opponent going all fancy with risky opening batsman as their captain and vice captain, you can play this reliable team to make him defeat easily.
