Sapping humidity is a distinct feature of Mumbai. Expecting anything else would be foolish.

Mumbai Indians Team Form

Mumbai Indians secured a domineering win in the first game against Gujarat Giants, reducing them to 23/7 at one point, before bundling them for an overall tally of 64 runs. Eventually, they secured a 143-run win, something that would break the back of even the best of the sides. From that factor alone, one can be confident that Mumbai Indians would be having a ball-day out there.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Betting Odds

We have done proper research for you to find out the best betting odds available in the market to simplify your research for the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians, set to take place on Monday.

RCB to score over 45.5 runs @ 1.95 (Melbet)

In their first game of the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore put up 54 runs in the powerplay as compared to Delhi Capitals’ 57. That is a very good indicator how the pitch has been in Mumbai and hence, expecting RCB to score over 45.5 runs shouldn’t be too difficult. Royal Challengers Bangalore have some of the finest players of the generation in their line-up, like Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine, and Richa Ghosh. All are attacking top-order batters who could change the discourse of the game in their own right. Mandhana, for example, has a powerplay batting strike rate of 145, with Devine’s corresponding numbers being 148. That tells you why RCB reaching 44 runs inside the powerplay is never a difficult proposition in the first place.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Best Batters

Mandhana to be RCB’s best batter (Melbet)

Smriti Mandhana has been in top form in the recently-concluded World Cup and was the leading run scorer for India having scored 151 runs at an average of 37.7 with two fifties to her name. She scored runs at a very quick rate and had the highest strike rate for an Indian at the World Cup. Even in RCB’s first game of the WPL season, Mandhana was the highest run-scorer, with 35 to her name and that tells you why we picked her as the first bet.

Kaur to be MI’s best batter (Melbet)

One shouldn’t have any doubt regarding this after seeing her tearing apart Gujarat Giants in the opening game of the league. Kaur had a dismal outing in the recently-concluded World Cup but her 52 against Australia in the semi-finals of the World Cup and backed that up with a 30-ball 68 in the opening game of the WPL. She is the highest run scorer for India in WT20Is and is the only Indian to score more than 3000 runs. She has been consistent throughout the years and has scored at an average of more than 35 in the last 3 years. That should be enough to convince you why you should back her.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Best Bowlers

Megan Schutt to be RCB’s best bowler (Melbet)

Well, Meghan Schutt has always held sway over the opponents in Asian conditions, primarily because of her variance. She is the all-time highest wicket-taker in Women’s T20s, with 241 wickets of her own and that tells a story of its own. If her nuisance continues for yet another game, which there is a great chance of, don’t be surprised if Schutt takes on the lead as RCB’s best bowler against MI.

Sciver-Brunt to be MI’s best bowler (Melbet)

Natalie Sciver-Brunt is a full package. While her batting is enough to make it to the national side, Sciver-Brunt has taken the mantle of bowling the way only she can. With 23 wickets in the last 10 games, Natalie Sciver-Brunt has put her best foot forward in the direction of making things good. Then what are you waiting for? Go for it and thank me later.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Mumbai Indians

I would highly back Mumbai Indians as well for the kind of balance they have in every department. With Kaur and Kerr taking the onus of batting department, they have hardly a thing to worry but the opposition would be wary of the kind of bowling resources they have at their disposal. From Nataile Sciver-Brunt to Saika Ishaque, they have some quality performers to check every passage of the play. RCB’s bowling on Sunday was listless and hence, there remains a huge element of doubt of the kind of thing they could pull off against Mumbai Indians.
