RCB vs DC Prediction: Who will Win WPL 2026 Final Today?

The Women's Premier League 2026 hurtles toward its electrifying finale as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) at Vadodara's Kotambi Stadium on February 5.

RCB and DC both have looked the strongest teams in the competition and they will now be up for the championship battle.

RCB vs DC - WPL 2026 Final

Led by the graceful Smriti Mandhana, RCB have ruled the season, topping the points table with six wins from eight matches. They earned direct qualification through batting firepower, bowling precision, and sharp fielding. An unbeaten streak in the league's closing stages underscores their big-match temperament.

Under Jemimah Rodrigues' steady captaincy, DC scraped into the final by dismantling Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator, chasing 168 in just

15.4 overs. This marks their fourth straight final appearance, yet heartbreak lingers-no title since losses in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Experience abounds, but consistency remains their elusive prize.

RCB's squad depth shines brightest. Mandhana's elegant run-scoring inspires, backed by all-rounders Nadine de Klerk (12 wickets at 5.63 economy) and Grace Harris. Georgia Voll and Richa Ghosh fortify the batting, while Lauren Bell and Shreyanka Patil lead a relentless attack. Momentum positions them as chasing experts.

DC unleash firepower from openers Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee, who blazed in the Eliminator. Rodrigues delivers as captain and batter, with Marizanne Kapp's all-round mastery a potential X-factor. Yet, a shaky middle order and over-reliance on Laura Wolvaardt expose cracks if early breakthroughs occur.

RCB vs DC Prediction: Who will Win WPL 2026 Final?

The RCB women have been dominant in recent times. Although the Capitals have a historic edge, Mandhana and her troops come into the final with the upperhand. RCB enter as favorites, their cohesion trumping DC's finals pedigree, and they also beat the same opponents to win the solitary title in 2024. For the Capitals, this is an opportunity to showcase their mettle. They played all three finals before, and lost all of them. Hence, Jemimah and her team will have the onus to change history as they take the field. Our prediction indicates a win for Delhi Capitals, as this might be their year, finally.
