What a start to the Women's Premier League it has been so far. One has witnessed some great batting, fielding as well as some superb bowling performances in the competition so far and we are just getting started. On Monday, there is yet another crackling contest coming our way from the Women's League and it is the Mumbai Indians up against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Mumbai absolutely dominated the tournament opener against Gujarat and would want to replicate a similar performance against Bangalore. However, it won't be that easy as even though Bangalore didn't have their best match against Delhi in their opener, they have a star-studded lineup which could come good any day.
Mumbai vs Bangalore Fantasy Tips:
Wicketkeepers:
This is a crucial segment of the Fantasy team and a tricky one too especially for this game. This is because the best bet is to include both Yatsika Bhatia and Richa Ghosh, keeper of both the teams in the side. However, here is why it becomes tricky while Ghosh has been in good form with the bat, she tends to bat lower down the order which leaves her lesser chance of making an impact than someone like Bhatia who bats up the order. However, the MI keeper hasn't been at her best form.
Batters:
Hard not to pick someone like Harmanpreet Kaur in the Fantasy 11 of this team. She has been in great form and started the tournament with a bang. Smriti Mandhana too is a class player who can make a difference at the top of the order. Heather Knight and Sophie Devine are other options who can be picked from this section as they are part-time bowlers as well and thus have the potential to fetch more points.
All-rounders:
This is the engine room of a Fantasy team. Amelia Kerr, Hayley Matthews, Natalie Sciver and Ellyse Perry are some of the all-round options who can be considered for a place in the side. Pick all four if the balance and the credit composition of your team allows and picking a captain or a vice-captain from this section won't be a bad idea.
Bowlers:
Renuka Singh Thakur, Saika Ishaque after her performance in the opening game and Isabelle Wong are the suggested picks from the specialist bowlers who will be playing this fixture.
