NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to bat against Mumbai Indians in their Women's Premier League match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
RCB would be hoping for a turnaround against Harmanpreet Kaur's Mumbai after losing the match against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
RCB made one change to the side that lost to DC, bringing Shreyanka Patil in place of off-spinner Asha Shobana while Mumbai Indians are playing an unchanged side.
Mandhana said the decision to bat first was taken as she has confidence in her top four batters.
"It looks like a good wicket to bat on and chasing builds pressure. We had a chat in the meeting that thinking about totals would not help, we have to play to our strengths and we will get the big total. One of the top four bat deep and if we can do that then we will post good totals. One change for us," said Mandhana.
“Smriti is a little luckier than me (with the toss). We wanted to bowl first and we got that. We have the confidence in our bowling unit and that's why we wanted to bowl today. We are going with the same XI,” said Harmanpreet at the toss.
