One of the intense fan-attended rivalries in WPL is between the Mumbai Indians Women and the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, both have faced each other 7 times, with MI-W winning 4 matches and RCB-W winning 3. Mumbai’s advantage in this rivalry has been backed by their WPL 2023 title, and highlighted by one-sided victories like a 9-wicket win in 2023 while chasing 155 in just 14.2 overs, powered by Hayley Matthews’ 77* and Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 55*.
But RCB had their big match moment by knocking Mumbai out in the eliminators in 2024, where Ellyse Perry’s 66 helped them defend 135 and beat MI by 5 runs. That season eventually ended with RCB lifting their maiden WPL title in 2024.
Overall, MI-W vs RCB-W has delivered a blend of close matches, high-scoring encounters, and knockout drama, making it one of the most-watched rivalries in the WPL.
