Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (or Harmanpreet Kaur vs Smriti Mandhana)
At a press convention, Mandhana was requested about face-offs with Harmanpreet, and he or she stated, “We haven’t played a lot of domestic cricket in the last four-five years and so didn’t get opportunities to share our experiences with the domestic players. We have played the overseas leagues and know how the setup benefits. So I am sure I can help the RCB girls and she can help the MI girls.”
And so, the seeds of some pleasant WPL fireplace had been sowed – Harmanpreet versus Mandhana.
A tricky task then for Royal Challengers, as they appear to show round their marketing campaign.
Having her batting providers largely under-utilised for India, Pooja Vastrakar got here in at No. 6 and confirmed her wares with an eight-ball 15. She may have a bigger position to play for Mumbai Indians given she is among the skilled gamers within the set-up. And do not be shocked if allrounder Jintimani Kalita is given extra to do in her second outing as groups can afford to attempt the home gamers earlier than the precise crunch video games kick in. Kalita impressed along with her athletic efforts and caught Harmanpreet’s eye at Mumbai Indians’ two intra-squad warm-up video games.

“When I am in my zone, I am clear in the areas I have to pick, and it becomes easy for me. I need to just watch the ball and react instead of thinking about too many shots.”
