RCB vs MI Predictions

At Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women will face Mumbai Indians Women for the 16th Women’s Premier League 2026 match-up of 2026. We analyze recent performances, squad depth and key matchups to predict the outcome of this high-scoring encounter.

RCB are currently leading the table with five wins out of six matches, while MI are in third position on four points after an inauspicious start.

Even so, MI have an excellent chance at qualifying for playoffs if they win their remaining games but any further slipups could allow teams behind them to close their deficit and potentially qualify as well.

While top scorers Smriti Mandhan and Prithvi Shaw have performed admirably for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), RCB lack depth in its batting lineup – particularly their middle order which has struggled to find consistency without Sayali Goswami; Harmanpreet Kaur appears to be their best option in this department.

Her 240 runs from six innings at a strike rate of 144 are an indication of her form and should prove troublesome for Mumbai Indians’ defence.

On the bowling front, Nadine de Klerk has been an exceptional performer for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season; she will look to continue her impressive form.

Kotambi Stadium generally provides ideal batting conditions, however dew could potentially complicate matters and force bowlers to be extra wary when throwing in power-play overs.
