TATA WPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals

TATA WPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals

Fri, Jan 9 EST9:00 AM EST

Prepare for a historic showdown as the TATA Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 reaches its spectacular conclusion. In a repeat of the 2024 final, the reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face off against the ever-consistent Delhi Capitals (DC). With RCB looking to defend their throne and Delhi Capitals desperate to break their "final jinx" after four consecutive appearances, this clash at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara is set to be a landmark event in women's cricket.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, captained by the elegant Smriti Mandhana, have been the standout team of the 2026 season. Finishing at the top of the points table with six wins from eight matches, RCB earned direct qualification to the final. Their campaign has been defined by collective brilliance, with players like Grace Harris and Nadine de Klerk delivering match-winning performances consistently. RCB enters the final with the confidence of having beaten DC earlier in the season and the psychological edge of being the 2024 champions.

The Delhi Capitals, led by the charismatic Jemimah Rodrigues, have navigated a roller-coaster path to the summit clash. After a shaky start with three losses in their first four games, the Capitals found their rhythm when it mattered most. They secured their final berth with a dominant 7-wicket victory over the Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator, chasing down 169 in just 15.4 overs. Having featured in every WPL final to date but never lifting the trophy, the "Capitals" are hungry to finally cross the finish line.

Players in Focus
Smriti Mandhana (RCB): The captain has been in sublime form, recently guiding her team into the final with a superb 54*. Her battle against Delhi's pacers in the powerplay will be decisive.

Marizanne Kapp (DC): The ultimate big-match player. Her all-round capabilities (batting, bowling, and experience) make her the engine room of the Delhi side.

Nadine de Klerk (RCB): One of the top wicket-takers this season (15 wickets), her ability to break partnerships in the middle overs has been RCB's secret weapon.

Shafali Verma (DC): When Shafali fires, Delhi wins. Her aggressive opening stands with Lizelle Lee often take the game away from the opposition within the first six overs. More
