RCB Women clinch second WPL title after last-over drama against Delhi Capitals
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women lifted their second Women’s Premier League title after a tense six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals Women in the final. Chasing a challenging target of 204, RCB sealed victory with two balls to spare amid high drama in the last over.
Radha Yadav’s decisive boundary sparked confusion when a bail was dislodged, prompting brief deliberation by the umpires. Once confirmed, celebrations erupted as RCB crossed the line.
Earlier, Smriti Mandhana played a captain’s knock, smashing a commanding 87 of 41 balls that kept RCB in control for most of the chase. Delhi found late hope when Chinelle Henry bowled Mandhana in the death overs, but crucial runs from Radha Yadav and Nadine de Klerk ensured RCB held their nerve to finish champions once again.
