The bowling line up also did better in the second match, after getting bashed down against RCB in the first match. Priya Mishra was excellent with here three-wicket haul against UP Warriorz.
However, it is the all-rounder Dendra Dottin, who has been the "missing link" for them this season as the West Indian powerhouse has been solid for them.
The Orange army would love to continue their winning run and momentum. Thus, we can expect no changes in the playing XI as well. However, toss would be a vital factor in the match as chasing has looked an easier task in Vadodara with the dew in effect.
Team News: Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians after their defeat in the last ball of the match at the hands of Delhi Capitals would love to turn their fortunes. Harmanpreet Kaur in the post match presentation had stated that the batters who were set including herself needed to score big to get a total closer to 180 or plus.
Nat Sciver-Brunt as usual looked by far the best batter from their team with a solid unbeaten 80 from 59 balls. However, she lacked support from the other as Mumbai were only able to put 164 on the board. They would love to have players like Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia and Amelia Kerr.
However, Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr were superb with the ball in hand along with Shabnim Ismail. Except for Saika Ishaque, who went for 43 in her 4 overs, everyone was on point with their bowling effort.
With only one game behind them, Mumbai are unlikely to change and chop many things this early. So, we can expect the same playing eleven against a team they have never lost.
