The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are determined to maintain their strong form as they head into the home leg of the season. Despite missing some key players from last year, their Indian contingent has been outstanding. Smriti Mandhana has continued her brilliant form, Richa Ghosh impressed with her knock against Delhi Capitals after her match-winning performance against Gujarat Giants, and Renuka Singh's new-ball bowling has been a major strength. RCB will look to capitalise on playing at their home ground, the iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium, where they won three out of five games last season. This season, they will play four home matches.  Check Afghanistan vs South Africa live score, match updates and full scorecard here | Champions Trophy 2025   
 
 
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians (MI) have relied heavily on their overseas players so far. Nat Sciver-Brunt’s exceptional form with both bat and ball has been crucial, including her 59-ball 80 against DC and a match-winning 57 against Gujarat Giants. In the bowling department, Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr have been the standout performers. MI will be hoping for more contributions from their Indian players, particularly with the bat, to post bigger totals in upcoming matches.
