The only time Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women and Delhi Capitals Women met in a WPL final was in 2024, where RCB produced a dominant eight-wicket victory. History slightly favours RCB, but Delhi Capitals will be desperate to finally lift their maiden WPL title after three heartbreaks in finals.

Kotambi Stadium has been a high-scoring venue this season, and first-innings totals need to cross 175+ to stay competitive.

Pitch Report – BCA Stadium, Kotambi

The Kotambi surface has been excellent for batting throughout WPL 2026.

Average first-innings score: 155–160
Dew plays a major role under lights
Chasing teams hold a clear advantage
Short boundaries encourage aggressive stroke play

A target of 180–190 should be considered par in this final.

Weather Conditions

Vadodara is expected to offer dry, pleasant evening conditions with no rain threat. Dew later in the match will assist batting, making bowling in the death overs extremely challenging.
