WPL 2026 – Predicting the top 3 player battles for match 15

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face Delhi Capitals (DC) in match No. 15 of the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Saturday, January 24.

Smriti Mandhana-led RCB have been in scintillating form, having won all five games they have played so far. The former champions have already booked their place in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Capitals find themselves at No. 4 on the points table. They have two wins and three losses from five matches.

Let’s take a look at three player battles to look forward to from the upcoming encounter:

Lizelle Lee vs Lauren Bell

Lizelle Lee is among the leading run-getters in the tournament. The wicketkeeper-batter from the Capitals has amassed 213 runs in five innings at an average of 42.20 and a strike rate of 154.35. However, she will have to be wary of Lauren Bell’s threat with the new ball. The England pacer has taken nine wickets in five matches at an average of 12.

Smriti Mandhana vs Nandni Sharma

Smriti Mandhana has had a couple of memorable outings with the bat so far in the league this season. She has aggregated 192 runs at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 140.15. On the other hand, Nandni Sharma has been in red-hot form in her debut season. The right-arm speedster has taken 10 wickets in five games at an average of 15.80.

Jemimah Rodrigues vs Shreyanka Patil

Jemimah Rodrigues scored just 41 runs in the first four matches. However, she returned to form in the last game against Mumbai Indians, scoring a match-winning 51. Jemimah would want to carry the momentum into the forthcoming encounter. Meanwhile, Shreyanka Patil will be looking to foil her plans. The young off-spinner has picked up nine wickets in five matches at an average of 18.67.
