RCB Secure Second WPL Title in Record-Breaking Final

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women celebrate their historic WPL title win with the trophy

The WPL Final 2026 Records were shattered in spectacular fashion as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) roared to their second title. In a high-octane clash at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, Smriti Mandhana’s side proved why they are the masters of the big stage, chasing down a record-breaking target of 204 to leave the Delhi Capitals (DC) stunned once again.

The Match Summary: A Record-Breaking Chase

Delhi Capitals, appearing in their fourth consecutive final, seemed to have one hand on the trophy after posting an imposing 203/4. Captain Jemimah Rodrigues led from the front with a scintillating 57 off 37 balls, supported by late-innings fireworks from Chinelle Henry (35 off 15)*.

However, the RCB openers had other plans. Smriti Mandhana (87 off 41) and Georgia Voll (79 off 54) dismantled the DC bowling attack with a record-breaking 165-run partnership. Despite a late surge of wickets that took the game to the final over, Radha Yadav kept her cool to hit back-to-back boundaries, sealing the win with two balls to spare.
