The opening phase of the tournament will be held at the DY Patil Stadium before the league moves to Vadodara for the second phase, which will also feature the knockout matches.
Mumbai Indians boast a strong squad featuring Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews, Amelia Kerr and Shabnim Ismail, all likely to be part of the playing XI. For RCB, much will depend on Nadine de Klerk, especially following her impressive performances for South Africa at last year’s Women’s World Cup.
