Royal Challengers Bangalore will probably be trying to regroup as shortly as potential earlier than it takes on high-flying Mumbai Indians in its second Women’s Premier League fixture on the Brabourne Stadium on Monday.
Despite having a star-studded unit, the Smriti Mandhana-led RCB went right down to Delhi Capitals in its opener on Sunday and with little or no time for a turnaround, it is going to be a problem to deal with the weak hyperlinks.
In the post-match interplay, Smriti admitted the crew leaked 20-30 runs additional, which ultimately made the distinction. While the RCB tempo division failed to fireside, its batting unit misplaced the momentum regardless of a promising begin.
“We are used to playing in other franchises back-to-back. But for us to take positives out of this and things that didn’t go our way, we have a few hours to think about it and come back stronger tomorrow,” Smriti stated.
Her crew takes on Mumbai Indians, which rode on a captain’s innings by Harmanpreet Kaur within the opener in opposition to Gujarat Giants, and can be hoping to maintain the momentum going.
As she managed to get the most effective out of the gamers, Harmanpreet admitted that captaincy isn’t a stress for her. “I have been captaining teams since playing cricket. It does not bring any extra pressure on me but makes me feel more involved. I get into a zone which helps me bring out good performances. I think a lot; my mind is continuously (in the process of) thinking, giving thoughts and ideas to me,” she stated.
Against RCB, Mumbai’s batting will revolve round Harmanpreet, whereas the bowling division will hope for spinner Saika Ishaque to maintain the momentum going. The Bengal spinner claimed 4 wickets in opposition to the Giants and can be hoping to journey excessive in opposition to a star-studded RCB.
