The defending champions Mumbai have struggled this season and find themselves in third place with four points from six games. RCB, on the other hand, are doing brilliantly and sit at the top with 10 points after six matches. This should be a competitive game, but RCB look like the stronger side based on how they've been playing.

The start looked promising for Mumbai Indians Women—two victories from three matches—but a three-game losing streak has now seen them fall to third. With only two league fixtures left, they can still make the playoffs, but any further slip will allow the teams behind them to close the gap.
Batting-wise, things have been fairly consistent. Harmanpreet Kaur has led from the front as captain, accumulating 240 runs in six outings at a strike rate of 144, including a pair of fifties. She appears primed to produce more match-winning contributions.
Nat Sciver-Brunt has also been in excellent form, registering 219 runs from five appearances at a strike rate of 147, while Nicola Carey has added 149 runs at a fine strike rate of 142.
Then there's Amanjot Kaur, who could deliver a useful cameo worth 20-30 runs in this fixture.
On the bowling front, the unit has performed reliably even on surfaces offering little assistance. Amelia Kerr has been their most successful wicket-taker with 10 scalps in five games, maintaining an economy of 7.35. Sciver-Brunt and Carey have also made valuable contributions, sharing 14 wickets and strengthening the attack. Shabnim Ismail's pace has proven effective in the middle phase, with her economy consistently below six runs per over.
Nat Sciver Brunt Total Runs Over 25.5 1.85
Nat Sciver Brunt has been in fine form this season with scores of 65,15, 65, 70 and 4 in the last five matches played this season. She is in fine form and has backed up 219 runs in 5 matches, averaging 54.75. Given her current run of form we are backing Sciver Brunt's score to be over 25 runs in today's match.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women have been the most dominant side this season, with five wins from six games, that put them at the top of the table. A win here will guarantee them a direct shot to the final, and they look good enough to do it right now.
The batting lineup has been the driving force behind this run. Smriti Mandhana is leading from the front as captain, collecting 230 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 135. She's found her rhythm, and there's every chance she'll hit 30-plus runs again while maintaining that aggressive tempo.
Grace Harris has been just as explosive, smashing 138 runs in six games with a strike rate of 172.50. These fast starts have taken pressure off the middle order early on.
The batting unit goes deep, which makes it tough for opposing bowlers to plan. Georgia Voll, Nadine de Klerk, and Richa Ghosh bring firepower late in the innings. All three can walk in during the closing stages and accelerate through boundaries. Radha Yadav has made contributions down the order too, especially her 66 off 47 against Gujarat Giants.
With the ball, De Klerk has been excellent, claiming 10 wickets at an economy of just 7.05. Lauren Bell and Shreyanka Patil have backed her up, taking 18 wickets combined. Sayali Satghare has impressed in limited opportunities, grabbing eight wickets from three games at 6.60 runs per over.

Once batters get their eye in during a T20 at Kotambi Stadium, they can go hard at the bowlers right away—the bounce is reliable, and the boundaries are tighter than the ones you'll see at India's traditional venues. High-scoring white-ball games have been common here, and while the surface does slow down a bit as things progress, chasing teams under lights have usually found it easier to bat. The dew that comes in later often tilts things in favor of the batting side, making it tougher for bowlers to grip the ball in the final overs than it is for batsmen.
Vadodara's weather will be on the cooler, drier side but comfortable all through.

First-innings totals at Kotambi Stadium in the WPL have generally been between 155 and 160. But to win this match, a score closer to 170-180 may be necessary, since dew will favor the chasing side in the second innings.
Mumbai Indians Women to win the coin toss 1.85
We back Mumbai Indians Women to win the coin toss in today's match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women.
In each of the four WPL 2026 games at Vadodara’s Kotambi Stadium, the captain who won the toss picked to bowl first. That pattern should hold for this match as well.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women have been the standout side this season and will want to maintain their strong run when they face Mumbai Indians Women, a side they've already defeated once this tournament. Mumbai have some serious firepower across their lineup, and when the likes of Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amanjot Kaur get going, they can defeat anyone. But consistency has been their problem this season, and that's why they're on a three-match losing streak right now. RCB, meanwhile, look like the better-rounded unit and have the upper hand, especially considering how well they're playing at the moment. We're backing them with a 55 to 45 advantage in this contest.
Pick Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the winners of this match.
