Mumbai Indians (MI) are taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match number 20 of WPL 2025 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, March 11. This will be the last game of the league stage. MI are currently second in the points table, with 10 points from seven matches. RCB are in last place, with only two wins from seven games.
Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants (GG) have already qualified for the WPL 2025 playoffs. However, a top-placed finish is at stake for MI in their clash against RCB. A win on Tuesday will make them table-toppers, confirming a direct entry into the final for the inaugural champions. Delhi Capitals, who ended the league stage on 10 points, would then slip to second place.
Mumbai Indians will be playing their second match in as many days. On Monday, they beat GG by nine runs. Batting first, Mumbai notched up 179-6 as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur smashed 54 off 33 balls. Hayley Matthews (3-38), Amelia Kerr (3-34) and Shabnim Ismail (2-19) then starred with the ball as Mumbai survived the Bharti Fulmali (61 off 25) scare.

Today's MI vs RCB pitch report
“We are playing on the same pitch that we played last night. You can hardly see wear and tear here. It won't turn as much because it is still dry. Good carry as well. It has been rolled well so there will be decent bounce. The team who is batting first or chasing, everything is possible on this wicket.” - Natalie Germanos and Mithali Raj
