WPL 2026: Smriti, Georgia Lead RCB To Second Title Win With Six-wicket Victory Over DC (ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their second Women’s Premier League title after beating Delhi Capitals by six wickets at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi in Vadodara on Thursday. After captain Jemimah Rodrigues top-scored with 57 to take DC to 203/4, RCB completed the highest successful chase in a WPL final in 19.4 overs with immaculate ease.
The victory also made RCB the first team to win the title after finishing top of the group stage standings, and the first franchise to hold both IPL and WPL crowns simultaneously. Captain Smriti Mandhana produced her finest and classy WPL innings, scoring 87 off 41 balls, laced with 12 fours and three sixes.
She managed only six runs from her first five deliveries but accelerated spectacularly thereafter, striking boundaries almost every over. Her knock also made her the tournament’s leading run-scorer, as Smriti became the backbone of RCB’s dominating chase.
