RCB Women Win Massive WPL 2026 Title

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women Clinch WPL 2026 Title With Record Chase

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women delivered one of the most remarkable performances in Women’s Premier League history, chasing down a daunting target of 204 against Delhi Capitals Women in the WPL 2026 final at the BCA Stadium. RCB sealed a dramatic six-wicket victory with two balls to spare, completing the highest successful chase in a WPL final. The night will be forever remembered for Smriti Mandhana’s breathtaking 87 off just 41 deliveries, a captain’s knock that powered her side to championship glory.

Georgia Voll Shines Alongside Mandhana

Georgia Voll produced a sensational 79 off 54 balls, stitching together a record-breaking 165-run second-wicket partnership with Mandhana — the highest stand in WPL 2026 history. The chase was completed in 19.4 overs as RCB dismantled Delhi’s bowling attack with fearless stroke play and composure under pressure, rewriting the record books in the process.

Delhi Capitals Women Fall Short Again in WPL Final

Earlier, Delhi Capitals Women had posted a formidable 203 for 4, powered by Jemimah Rodrigues’s fluent 57 off 37 balls and Laura Wolvaardt’s brisk 44 off 25. Despite setting what appeared to be a match-winning total, Delhi endured their fourth defeat in a WPL final. For RCB, Lauren Bell delivered a standout bowling performance, returning economical figures of 0 for 19 in her four overs to keep the Capitals in check.
