Unchanged RCB bowl with an eye on spot in playoffs
Written by I Dig SportsToss Royal Challengers Bangalore chose to bowl vs Mumbai Indians
The two teams are coming into the game on the back of contrasting results. While Harmanpreet's stunning assault helped Mumbai secure a come-from-behind win against Giants on Saturday, RCB went down by a solitary run to Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
"It is a fresh wicket. It will be good to know the total," Mandhana said of her decision to bowl. RCB have kept faith in the same team that lost to Capitals, going in unchanged.
Mumbai have already booked a spot in the playoffs, along with Capitals. A win here will take them to the top of the table but Capitals have a game in hand.
