Table of Contents

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 reaches a crescendo as the Delhi Capitals (DC-W) lock horns with the high-flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB-W) in Match 11. RCB-W are the undisputed team of the tournament so far, having extended their unbeaten run to four matches after a clinical 32-run victory over the Gujarat Giants. The Capitals, led by new skipper Jemimah Rodrigues, are slowly finding their rhythm, coming off a much-needed win against the UP Warriorz. This clash at the DY Patil Stadium marks the final league game at this venue before the tournament shifts to Vadodara.

Matches played: 7 | Delhi Capitals won: 2 | RCB-W won: 5

The DY Patil track has consistently been a batter’s paradise throughout the 2026 season, with the average first-innings score climbing to a staggering 177. The combination of shorter boundaries and a lightning-fast outfield makes it difficult for bowlers to contain aggressive stroke-makers. While pacers like Lauren Bell and Nandini Sharma have found success with the new ball, the surface remains flat for most of the game. Dew is expected to be a massive factor tonight, making the ball slippery for spinners in the second innings. Consequently, the team winning the toss will likely elect to bowl first.

Delhi Capitals: The Capitals are looking to move past their runner-up finishes with a fresh strategy. Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee provide an explosive opening pair, while Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues anchor the middle order. The bowling attack has found a new hero in Nandini Sharma, who recently scripted history with a sensational five-wicket haul (including a hat-trick). The experience of Marizanne Kapp with the new ball will be vital to rattling RCB’s top order.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB-W are currently unstoppable. While the top order struggled in the previous game, Radha Yadav (66 off 47) and Richa Ghosh (44 off 28) proved the team’s incredible depth. Their bowling unit is arguably the best in the league; Shreyanka Patil is in peak form after her match-winning five-wicket haul against the Giants, and Nadine de Klerk continues to be a gold mine for wickets in the middle overs. With Grace Harris and Smriti Mandhana at the top, they possess the most feared batting lineup this season.
