Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians easily outcasted RCB by 9 wickets on Monday. RCB won the toss against MI and opted to bat first. They were bowled out for 155 and then saw Mumbai Indians chase down the target with 34 balls remaining.

RCB batters' poor form has been the main reason behind their back-to-back losses in the tournament. 

“We would have loved to put up a better performance. We were below par. Will come back harder. There were two-three batters getting 20-30 runs, a few batters including me couldn’t put up a good score,” Mandhana said in her post-match comments.

“We will sit and talk and try to come up with a better performance. We had six-seven good bowlers. As batters we need to put up a good total on board.

“It’s a pretty short tournament, we can’t dwell on it. In franchise cricket, even after two losses we can turn it around quickly.”
