WPL 2026 Final: Predicted Playing XI of RCB Women vs DC Women

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) Final will witness Royal Challengers Bengaluru locking horns with Delhi Capitals at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Thursday, February 5. While Bengaluru finished at the top of the table and gained direct entry into the final, Delhi had to take the longer route after securing the third spot. Jemimah Rodrigues and Co. defeated Gujarat Giants in the WPL 2026 Eliminator to reach the final.

Here is the predicted Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women XI for final of WPL 2026:

Top Order: Grace Harris, Smriti Mandhana (C), Georgia Voll

The opening partnership between Grace Harris and Smriti Mandhana could be crucial for RCB. They had a brilliant partnership in their last game against UP Warriorz, as they added 108 runs inside 10 overs. Harris scored a brilliant 75 off 37 balls, a knock that will boost her confidence substantially. Georgia Voll has not been at her best but would want to finish the campaign on a high note.

Middle Order: Richa Ghosh (WK), Radha Yadav, Nadine de Klerk

Richa Ghosh has an average of 36.60 and a strike rate of 153.79 this season. She has belted 17 fours and 11 sixes. Radha Yadav has picked up only two wickets in eight games but scored 102 runs at an average of 20.40 and a strike rate of 134.22. Nadine de Klerk has a batting average of 42 and a bowling average of 13.53. She has 15 wickets to her name.

Lower Order: Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Sayali Satghare

Pooja Vastrakar has played just one game this season. In the last match, she did not get to bat or bowl. Arundhati Reddy has only one wicket from six games. Sayali Satghare is expected to take the new ball. She has taken eight wickets from five games at 16.13.

Bowlers: Shreyanka Patil, Lauren Bell

Shreyanka Patil has bagged 11 wickets in eight matches at 22.09. Her economy rate is 8.53. Meanwhile, Lauren Bell has been sensational, picking up 12 wickets in eight games and her economy rate is a staggering 5.63.

Here is the predicted Delhi Capitals Women XI for Eliminator of WPL 2026:

Top Order: Lizelle Lee (WK), Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt

Lizelle Lee will be tasked with getting her team off to a flying start, with Shafali Verma for company. The former is averaging 31.44, while the latter has an average of 26.56. Laura Wolvaardt will look to drop anchor and allow the power hitters to bat around her. She has 273 runs in nine innings at an average of 45.50.

Middle Order: Jemimah Rodrigues (C), Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry

Jemimah Rodrigues has blown hot and cold but her knock in the Eliminator must have boosted her confidence. Marizanne Kapp has not had a great season with the bat but her bowling performance has been much better. She has taken 10 wickets at an average of 21.80. Chinelle Henry has done well with the new ball. In seven matches, she has 12 wickets at an average of 17.92.

Lower Order: Niki Prasad, Sneh Rana, Minnu Mani

In four innings, Niki Prasad has scored 75 runs at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 120.97. Sneh Rana has had a forgettable campaign, bagging just one wicket in nine matches. Minnu Mani has taken five wickets in eight games at an average of 31.

Bowlers: Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma

Shree Charani has become more and more lethal as the tournament has gone on. She has taken 14 wickets in nine games at an average of 19.07. On the other hand, Nandni Sharma has accounted for 16 wickets and is second on the list of leading wicket-takers.
