The business end of the second edition of the Women's Premier League is here with only two matches left to decide the champion team. While Delhi Capitals have already booked their spot in the final, a fierce fight awaits in the Eliminator between title holders Mumbai Indians and surging Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both teams have proved their mettle in league matches and Friday's face-off is sure to be a nail-biting contest.
Mumbai Indians will bank on the consistent performances of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and pace spearhead Shabnim Ismail to guide them to the final. However, they cannot take RCB lightly with scintillating batters Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry in red-hot form. Bengaluru also has the experience of Sophie Devine and Richa Ghosh to unleash any time.
With a win each against each other in the league stage already, the two teams seem evenly matched on paper. However, on the given day it will be a do-or-die situation for both sides as only the victor will get to battle it out for the coveted trophy on Sunday. Conditions and handling of pressure are likely to decide the outcome of what promises to be an epic Eliminator in Delhi.
