In their previous match, Bangalore Women wrere dealt with a heartbreaking one-run defeat by Delhi Capitals Women. After narrowly missing out on qualification, RCB would want to win this game as they would not want to depend on the results of other matches.
MI are also entering this game after a narrow victory against the Gujarat Giants, clinching the win in the last over with just one ball remaining. They aim to head into the playoffs on a winning note.
Qualifying Scenario for RCB W
RCB need to secure a win in their last game against MI. With three wins and four losses, they are currently placed third. Winning the match against MI would confirm their berth in the playoffs.
However, if they lose, GG and UPW will enter the picture. Gujarat would then need to win their next game by a significant margin to surpass RCB in Net Run Rate.
