WPL 2026 Final: RCB Crowned Champions Again As DC Suffers Fourth Consecutive Heartbreak

Royal Challengers Bengaluru edge Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets to win their 2nd WPL title. Smriti Mandhana slammed a belligerent 87 off just 41 balls to chase down a mammoth 204-run target in the final. She was well complemented by Georgia Voll, who also played a scintillating knock of 79 runs off 54 balls to deny DC their maiden title. For this, this was their 4th consecutive outing, and this time, they were unable to break their final jinx despite skipper Jemimah Rodrigues' blistering half-century.
