WPL 2026 Final Live Score: Delhi Capitals suffer final heartbreak again

There were celebrations in the RCB-W camp and visible disappointment among DC-W players. Jemimah Rodrigues walked straight back to the dressing room, while Radha received hugs for her role in RCB-W’s win. The dropped chance by Minnu Mani proved costly, with the moment possibly deciding the WPL trophy. For DC-W, it was another painful ending, losing a fourth straight final despite posting 203 on the board. Their effort was undone by a dominant partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Voll. After Grace Harris was dismissed early, the left-right pair took control with sustained boundary-hitting. RCB-W found at least one boundary in every over of the chase.

RCB vs DC Live Score: Delhi Capitals believe

Chinelle Henry made an impact with a key contribution in the final. Laura Wolvaardt and Henry built on the base laid by Lizelle Lee and Jemimah Rodrigues to take Delhi Capitals to 203. Royal Challengers Bengaluru now face the highest successful chase in WPL history to win the title.

It was one of Delhi Capitals’ most complete batting performances, delivered in a match where everything was at stake. Lee and Shafali Verma set the tone early, after which Rodrigues took charge of the innings and brought up another half-century. Wolvaardt supported her through the middle overs before accelerating late, while Henry added quick runs with a 35 off 15 balls.

It was a difficult outing for RCB. Their plans did not come together and the execution suffered. Apart from Bell, most bowlers missed their lines on both sides of the wicket and conceded at least one loose delivery an over. As a result, RCB are left with a steep target and the challenge of pulling off the biggest chase the league has seen, with the title on the line.

The RCB batting unit, including Mandhana, Harris, Georgia Voll and Richa Ghosh, has not been consistent across the season, but timely contributions have often been enough. In the bowling department, pacers Nadine de Klerk and Sayali Satghare have delivered important spells.

Delhi’s batting has also shown improvement in recent matches. Lizelle Lee contributed at the top in the Eliminator against Gujarat Giants, while Shafali Verma found form and added a half-century stand with Lee. Laura Wolvaardt has provided stability at the top order through the season.

With both batting and bowling influenced by South African players, the Capitals have benefited from a group that has played together for several years. That understanding could help them in the final as they look to end their title wait under Rodrigues, who will be hoping for a strong performance after a quiet season so far.
