MI vs RCB Live: Bangalore's inexperienced bowling is their Achilles heel
The inexperience of the Banglaore bowlers were in full display against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday when Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma completely annihilated their bowling attack scoring 72 and 84 respectively. After the two openers were sent back, Marizanne Kapp and Jemimah Rodrigues took over and easily dealt with the RCB attack. Tonight, they face one of the most potent batting attacks in the entire WPL gainst Mumbai and it'll be interesting to see if they stick to the same XI or ring in some changes.

MI vs RCB Live: Recent results
Harmapreet Kaur played a leading role in Mumbai's 143-run mauling of the hapless Gujarat Giants in the opening contest of the tournament. The skipper scored a quickfire 60 to put Mumbai in pole position against Beth Mooney's Giants who were all out for just 64 runs while chasing a 207-run target.
Smriti Mandhana's Bangalore, meanwhile, tried with all their might to chase down Delhi Capitals' 223 but they fell 60 runs short of the target. Mandhana herself got off to a decent start before getting dismissed for 35 and Megan Schutt (30) gave a glimmer of hope to the RCB faithful but ultimately it was a target too far for them.
