Royal Challengers Bengaluru XI: Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both captains confirmed they come into the game with an unchanged starting XI.
This is RCB’s first home game as defending champions with the Bengaluru leg having commenced on Friday. The Bengaluru crowd certainly rose to the occasion as a sold-out Chinnaswamy crowd burst into a deafening roar when skipper Smriti Mandhana came out for the toss.
“ It's good to be back and have this sort of welcome. I think it's massive for the team to have fans around, it only motivates us. Whatever we do, we do for them. All the girls are really proud, we have done well in the last two games but we know cricket is a game where we start from zero and we are charged up. It looks like a good wicket, Vadodara had a lot of dew but Bangalore won't have much dew. I don't mind batting first here. We are going with the same eleven,” said Smirit at the toss.
