WPL 2026 Final Highlights: RCB Chase 204 to Beat Delhi Capitals at Vadodara

If batting is like art, then the WPL 2026 final at BCA Stadium in Vadodara was full of masterpieces. The game began with a strong innings from Lizelle Lee and ended with Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll hitting brilliantly, helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Delhi Capitals and win their second title in three years.

The duo stitched a phenomenal partnership of 165 runs to get the job done as the Jemimah Rodrigues-led side had a very difficult outing with the ball, resulting in their fourth straight final loss. In the first innings, when Lee departed, Jemimah took over the business, hitting 57 runs off 37 balls. She set the momentum for the middle order batters as Laura Wolvaardt and Chinelle Henry capitalised on that, building a 55-run partnership.

The South African captain scored 44 runs off 25 balls, while Henry went on a hitting spree, making an unbeaten 35 runs off just 15 balls. Thanks to their fantastic batting, Delhi scored 203 runs in the first innings, which seemed like a strong total at that point. However, Smriti and Voll had other ideas. Their carnage changed the complexion of the game in the second innings.

Grace Harris got out early after scoring 9 runs, and Bengaluru struggled during the powerplay. But once they got their rhythm, they became unstoppable.None of Delhi’s plans worked in the middle as the bowlers struggled to find any sort of momentum. Voll eventually departed after scoring 79 runs, while Smriti kept up with the momentum.

She went to score 87 runs before Henry helped DC script a late comeback. Nadine de Klerk and Radha Yadav, in the end, got the job done after Richa Ghosh departed for six runs. Soon after hitting the winning runs, the RCB players marched to the ground in celebration, while DC players were heartbroken and rightfully so.
