MI-W will ascend to the summit if they secure a win in this encounter.
The WPL 2025 is now approaching the crucial phase of the league stage, and the action has moved to the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The forthcoming match will be the final league encounter featuring Mumbai Indians Women (MUM-W) versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (BLR-W) on Tuesday, March 11.
The Mumbai Indians Women have had yet another outstanding tournament and have already qualified for the playoffs, heading into the match with the momentum of a dramatic victory over the Gujarat Giants just a day prior. Nonetheless, this match remains significant as it could cement their place in the final for the second time in WPL history. MI-W has triumphed in 5 of their last 7 games and will aim to ascend to the top after clinching this last contest.
Conversely, the reigning champions are having a dismal season and currently sit at the bottom of the standings with merely two wins and five defeats in their seven outings. However, this match presents an opportunity for the team to avenge their earlier loss to the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, which had resulted in a thrilling finish at home earlier in the season.

Pitch Report
Brabourne Stadium is popularly regarded as a batsman’s haven where imposing scores are frequently achieved. The compact dimensions are not favorable for the bowlers either. Captains might opt to field first on this track, even though the last match was clinched by the team that batted first. This pitch allows for a plentiful scoring opportunity and maintains its characteristics throughout the match.
