The two teams facing each other in this game have had very different starts in the league, While the Mumbai Indians register a gigantic 143-run win against Gujarat Giants, the RCB were brutally beaten by Delhi Capitals by a margin of 60 runs.
Thus in this game, it will be a fight between continuing the winning momentum and breaking the losing syndrome.

The Mumbai Indians will play with Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews as openers with Harmanpreet Kaur coming in at number three, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver Brunt and Chloe Tryon will be in the middle. Pooja Vastrakar will come late in the order for some quickfire runs. The rest of the slots will be fit in by the domestic Indian players.
Predicted Playing 11
Yastika Bhatia, Hayley Matthews, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Natalie Sciver, Chloe Tryon, Jintimani Kalita, Pooja Vastrakar, Amanjot Kaur, Sonam Yadav, Saika Ishaque
Royal Challengers Bangalore playing 11 combinations
Though the RCB could not get a win in their first game, they will be up and about to try and secure a win in the second one when they face Mumbai Indians. The fact that Smriti Mandhan looked in great touch is more than awesome for the fans.
As for the changes in the playing 11, there would hardly be any change as the team would look to build a team for the tournament and not do away with a set combination, just because of one bad game.
