MI vs RCB: Mumbai Indians fell short of 11 runs in the final league stage match of the WPL 2025 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Mumbai Indians’ skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, after winning the toss, decided to bowl first. RCB’s openers Sabbhineni Meghana and skipper Smriti Mandhana provided an explosive start to their team, with both batters scoring runs. Sabbhineni Meghana got caught on 26 runs as Hayley Matthews broke the partnership. Ellyse Perry and Smriti Mandhana partnered for the 2nd wicket and took their team’s score to 100, with the skipper scoring her fifty.
After scoring 53 runs, Smriti Mandhana got caught at long-off. Richa Ghosh scored 32 runs for her team before getting out. It was Georgia Wareham’s blistering 31 runs off just 10 balls, which took the RCB’s score to 199 runs at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing the target of 200 runs, Mumbai Indians lost early wickets in the powerplay. Nat Sciver-Brunt boosted the runs on the scoreboard, but she didn’t get much help from the other end as Mumbai Indians kept losing wickets. The right-handed batter scored her fifty and kept her team alive in the chase. Ellyse Perry, after being bashed for a boundary and a six in two deliveries, made a comeback to dismiss the batter. Sajeevan Sajana scored 23 runs, but that wasn’t enough to win the match, as the Mumbai Indians lost by 11 runs.

WPL 2025, Match 20th: MI vs RCB: Captains’ Corner
We just discussed that we started on a high and finished on a high but lost a lot of momentum mid-way (smiles). Not having your five or six players who would play in the playing eleven, missing all the bowlers…the way we started, we felt that it will not be a huge thing for us. A lot of tosses did not go our way as well. In cricket, you can say all those things but you have to fight it out as a team and we could not step up – that is something all of us will learn (from). (On using just five bowlers tonight) Whenever I was thinking (to get the others on), Nat was smashing a 12-run over. They (Joshitha and Rawat) are excellent bowlers but I thought about sticking to experience – that is what gets us through.
Smriti Mandhana(RCB Captain) said post-match
This ground is about saving those boundaries. In the last two overs, we gave away 40 runs – that cost us. Otherwise, we were in the game. We knew 180 is chaseable. Those runs cost us and still, our team batted very well. The match was on till Sajana was batting. The way she was batting, we were hoping she could win the match for us. Good to see other batters also come up with contributions. The outfield is very fast (here) and we have to stop boundaries, and that is going to play a big role. We have to come up with some good plans that will help us.
