In a night defined by high-octane drama and cricketing excellence, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women <\/strong>etched their names into history once again. On February 05, 2026, at the packed International Stadium in Vadodara, RCB clinched their second Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) 2026<\/a><\/strong> title, pulling off a record-breaking chase against the Delhi Capitals (DC)<\/strong> in a final that will be remembered for generations.<\/p>\n The evening began with the Delhi Capitals looking like absolute favourites. After being put in to bat, the DC openers and middle order dismantled the RCB bowling attack with surgical precision. Despite an early breakthrough by Arundhati Reddy<\/strong> to remove Shafali Verma<\/strong> (20), Delhi never took their foot off the gas.<\/p>\n Jemimah Rodrigues<\/strong>, the DC captain, led from the front with a scintillating 57 off 37 balls, anchoring the innings with a flurry of boundaries. She found an able partner in Laura Wolvaardt<\/strong>, who played a steady yet aggressive knock of 44. However, the real X-factor was Chinelle Henry<\/strong>, whose late-order cameo of 35 off just 15 balls propelled Delhi to a humongous total of 203\/4.<\/p>\n For RCB, the bowling figures made for grim reading. Aside from Lauren Bell<\/strong>\u2019s economical spell (0\/19), the rest of the attack struggled, with Nadine de Klerk<\/strong> and Shreyanka Patil<\/strong> conceding heavily. At the innings break, with a target of 204 looming, many believed Delhi had one hand on the trophy.<\/p>\n The chase started on a shaky note for Bengaluru when Grace Harris<\/strong> fell for just 9 in the second over. But what followed was a batting masterclass that silenced the DC supporters. Skipper Smriti Mandhana<\/strong> and the Australian sensation Georgia Voll<\/strong> <\/a>put together a breathtaking 165-run partnership for the second wicket.<\/p>\n Mandhana was in \u2018beast mode,\u2019 reaching her fifty in just 23 deliveries. Her 87 off 41 balls, featuring 12 boundaries and 3 towering sixes, provided the aggression RCB needed. On the other end, Voll was equally destructive, scoring a majestic 79 off 54 balls. The duo treated the DC bowlers including veterans like Marizanne Kapp<\/strong> and Sneh Rana<\/strong> with total disdain, maintaining a run rate of over 10 throughout the middle overs.<\/p>\n Despite a late flutter where Voll, Richa Ghosh<\/strong>, and Mandhana fell in quick succession, Radha Yadav<\/strong> (12) and Nadine de Klerk<\/strong> (7) held their nerves. With 2 balls remaining, RCB crossed the line at 204\/4, sparking scenes of absolute jubilation. As the fans in Vadodara ran riot celebrating the victory, Mandhana hoisted the trophy, cementing RCB\u2019s status as the new powerhouse of the WPL.<\/p>\n Also WATCH: Chinelle Henry rattles Grace Harris\u2019 stumps with a stunning delivery in WPL 2026 Final<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This is clinical from RCB women.\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f #rcbwvsdcw<\/a> #WPLFinal<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ashwin \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@ashwinravi99) February 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83c\udfc6\u2665\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/EaLeyyLQZp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 AB de Villiers (@ABdeVilliers17) February 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n How good was @mandhana_smriti<\/a> tonight. 87 of 41 balls, Silken touch and an innings to remember in a final.
