The stage is set for a blockbuster showdown as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the grand finale of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026. In a thrilling repeat of the 2024 final, the two heavyweights will clash at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara, this Thursday. While RCB advanced directly into the final after dominating the league stage with six wins, the Delhi Capitals showed immense grit, defeating Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator to reach their fourth consecutive summit clash, a record of incredible consistency.

History favors the Delhi Capitals when it comes to head-to-head encounters. In the 9 matches played between these two sides across WPL history, Delhi has emerged victorious 6 times, while Bengaluru has claimed 3 wins.
