RCB vs DC WPL 2026 Final LIVE: Royal Challengers Bengaluru can create history in the Women’s Premier League final against Delhi Capitals at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi in Vadodara on Thursday by becoming the first-ever team to be crowned IPL and WPL champion at the same time.

Smriti Mandhana’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be eyeing a piece of history when they take on Jemimah Rodrigues-led Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 final at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi in Vadodara on Thursday. If the RCB can clinch their second WPL title on Thursday, they will become the first-ever team to hold both Indian Premier League and Women’s Premier League titles at the same time.
RCB won the IPL 2025 under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar after defeating Punjab Kings. Smriti Mandhana’s RCB were the first to break the Premier League jinx for the team by winning the WPL title for the first time in 2024.
This time around they will once again face eternal finalists Delhi Capitals – who are playing in their fourth successive final under the captaincy Jemimah Rodrigues this time around. The WPL 2026 will be clash of star power with Shafali Verma and Rodrigues headlining for DC while Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh and Nadine de Klerk on the other.
RCB have been in dominant form this season, becoming the first team to book their place in the final. However, Smriti Mandhana’s side did have a mid-way hiccup in Vadodara by losing back-to-back game mid-way through WPL 2026 season.
DC had to take the longer route by defeating Gujarat Giants by seven wickets in the WPL 2026 Eliminator match earlier this week. They are once again likely to go into match unchanged ahead of final and have only utilized 13 players in the tournament so far.
RCB, on the other hand, are likely to play all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar as a specialist batter, although she has started bowling in the nets.
