Bengaluru: The Women’s Premier League is set for an intriguing finale, with both the Bengaluru Royal Challengers (RCB) and the defending champion Mumbai Indians (MI) vying for victory in today’s eliminator match. What adds to the excitement is the presence of Keralite players on both teams, adding a unique flavour to the showdown.
Representing the Mumbai Indians is Sajeevan Sajana from Mananthavady, Wayanad, while Asha Shobhana from Ananthapuri, is set to play for RCB. The anticipation further builds as Wayanad’s Minnumani secures tickets for the final, representing Delhi. In short, there is a Keralite player destined to lift the Women’s Premier League title.
RCB secured their knockout entry with a dominant victory over the Mumbai Indians, powered by stellar performances from Elise Perry and Smriti Mandhana. Despite strong showings from Richa Ghosh and Sobhana Asha, RCB’s consistency remains unmatched in the Women’s Premier League.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians, though second in the points table, have faced challenges this season, with Hayley Mathew’s out of form posing a significant setback. However, the unexpected strength of Kerala player Sajana Sajevan has bolstered the team’s performance. With notable players like Amelia Kerr, Harmanpreet Kaur, and others yet to hit their stride, both teams face uncertainties as they approach the crucial stages of the tournament.
