In the final league stage match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face off against Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. This contest holds significant importance for Mumbai Indians, who are on the cusp of securing a direct entry into the final with a win. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, having been eliminated from the playoffs, will aim to end their campaign on a high note.
RCB have struggled throughout the tournament, losing their last five matches and failing to qualify for the playoffs. Despite this, they have talented players like Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, and Richa Ghosh who can turn the game around on their day. Perry is a standout performer, currently leading the Orange Cap race with 323 runs. Ghosh has shown glimpses of brilliance, and Mandhana will look to lead by example.
Mumbai Indians are in strong form, having recently defeated Gujarat Giants by nine runs. They are second in the points table and need a win to potentially top the standings. Harmanpreet Kaur has been in excellent form, scoring a half-century in the last match. Amelia Kerr and Shabnim Ismail have been instrumental with the ball, while Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt provide depth to the batting lineup.
