MI vs RCB, WPL 2026 Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today Match: It’s time for the Women’s Premier League (WPL)! And first up, we have defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on the 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The WPL this year could be more competitive than ever, with teams having the chance to reset themselves in the mega auction. Moreover, the attention on the league itself could be even more than what was the case last year, which itself had seen a spike that could be connected to the waves sent around the country due to RCB finally winning a title the year before that, considering this will be the first WPL since India won the World Cup.
Two of the leading figures in that succesfull campaign will be leading the two teams that feature today – India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who is leading Mumbai Indians, and her deputy Smriti Mandhana, who is captaining RCB.
Harmanpreet reiterated the fact that the WPL had a huge role to play in India’s World Cup triumph. “And even last year when we won the ICC trophy, there was a big impact. This season is also very important. And we have seen that all the teams have picked very exciting talent. Hopefully we will see more competition this season,” she said before this match.
