By Wicket Stump | WPL 2026 Coverage Introduction: The RCBW Finally Fall In what can only be described as the most dramatic turnaround of the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) season so far, the Delhi Capitals Women (DCW) have done the unthinkable. They have halted the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCBW) juggernaut, ending their flawless five-match winning streak in a low-scoring thriller at the Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. Coming into Match 15, the narrative was heavily skewed in favor of Smriti Mandhana’s RCB, a team that had looked invincible, brushing aside opponents with ease.

A 7-wicket victory that not only revitalizes their campaign but also throws the race for the top spot wide open. ...
