Smriti Mandhana called correctly as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) elected to field first in the opening match of WPL 2026 against defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at the DY Patil Stadium. She cited dew as one of the major factors behind her decision.
The Ellyse Perry-less RCB handed as many as six debuts – three of those being their new overseas recruits: allrounder Grace Harris, fast bowler Lauren Bell and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith. The fourth overseas player, Nadine de Klerk, played one game in their title-winning campaign in 2024.
