The Mumbai Indians (MI) will be under the pressure heading into their high-stakes match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the  WPL 2024 on Saturday, February 2 at the M Chinnaswamy Arena in Bengaluru, as per previous Indian cricket player Reema Malhotra.

Nonetheless, following losses to the Delhi Capitals (DC) and UP Warriorz (UPW), individually, the two groups will enter their next game with that attitude.

Prior, Smriti Mandhana, the chief of the Illustrious Challengers Bangalore (RCB), expressed that the excited allies in Bengaluru give her group an extraordinary lift. Despite the fact that Malhotra anticipated that RCB will win, he likewise accepted that Harmanpreet Kaur and MI might prevail after all other options have been exhausted.

Malhotra Analyzes MI vs RCB Showdown

“It will be a match between Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, two brilliant cricket players. They are highly acquainted and have the ability to read each other’s minds. Whoever plays well together will prevail,” Malhotra stated to reporters.

“The Mumbai Indians must remember, though, that the RCB team will not be playing alone; they will be attacking with their family. They don’t let Smriti Mandhana speak since their ground is so full,” she remarked.

“Smriti herself stated that due of the throng, ten extra runs have to be added. Thus, the Mumbai Indians will undoubtedly be under strain, but Harmanpreet Kaur and her group are really adept at handling pressure,” Malhotra continued.

Harmanpreet’s MI defeated Mandhana’s RCB twice in the previous season, by respective margins of 9 and 4 wickets. However, the Challengers had a dismal season in 2023 after losing their first five games in a row before going out. RCB has shown what kind of damage they can cause this year, especially in front of their home crowd.
