For Delhi Capitals, skipper Jemimah Rodrigues played a captain’s innings of 57 off 37 balls, while Laura Wolvaardt (44), Lizelle Lee (37), and Chinelle Henry (35*) guided the four-time finalist to a commanding total of 203/4. However, the Capitals’ bowling unit failed to defend the total under pressure, as RCB’s top-order kept the required run-rate under check.
RCB Pull Off Victory Despite Mini-Collapse
In a 204-run chase, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered an early setback with the dismissal of Grace Harris for 9 at 9/1. Thereafter, Smriti Mandhana was joined by Georgia Voll to carry on RCB’s run chase. The pair was involved in a crucial partnership that steadied RCB’s chase while keeping the run chase consistently under control.
While Mandhana led the charge with an aggressive and attacking strokeplay, accelerating RCB’s run chase post powerplay, Voll was providing a solid support to the skipper by y rotating the strike efficiently and finding boundaries at regular intervals. The pair shared a record 165-run stand for the second wicket before Voll’s dismissal at 174/2. At the time of Georgia Voll’s dismissal, RCB needed 30 off 21 balls, and Mandhana was still at the crease.

RCB women’s Team won the 2nd Title Smriti Mandhana brilliant knock with 200SR+ Georgia Voll superb knock First Franchise holds both men’s and women’s IPL cup in same time
What a performance from RCB Women. Really unbelievable. Successfully hased a mammoth total of 204 in 19.4 overs. Smriti Mandhana, just another day for her with the bat.
there are teams that win and then there are teams that rewrite their own destiny slowly, painfully and in full public view. rcb’s women didn’t just lift a trophy; they flipped a script that had been stuck on repeat for years the longest time, being an rcb fan meant…
Royal Challengers Bengaluru became the first team to hold the IPL and WPL titles simultaneously, underlining the franchise’s dominance across both the men’s and women’s competitions.
RCB women’s team was quite dominant throughout the WPL 2026, finishing at the top of the points table with six wins and two losses, and accumulated 12 points from eight outings. As the table toppers, the Smriti Mandhana-led side directly qualified for the final, where they went on to defeat Delhi Capitals to clinch the title.
