WPL 2026: RCB look to extend unbeaten run as Delhi Capitals eye comeback

The 11th match of the Women’s Premier League will feature the clash between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday in Navi Mumbai. Both sides have experienced contrasting outcomes so far in the tournament. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been the standout team of the competition so far. They sit comfortably at the top of the points table, unbeaten with three wins in a row.

Their most recent victory was against Gujarat Giants Women on Friday. Whether with bat, ball, or in the field, they have been absolutely outstanding across all departments. One of the biggest positives for RCB this season has been their ability to produce different match-winners in different situations. 

Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are going through a period of transition. Captain Jemimah Rodrigues, who has taken over the reins from the legendary Meg Lanning, has been getting used to the role. The early days of Jemimah’s leadership have been challenging. Consecutive defeats at the start of the campaign have put Delhi Capitals on the back foot early. However, they managed to halt the losing streak with a much-needed win against the Warriorz. But, for Delhi Capitals to compete against RCB, they will need a more powerful performance. 

Head-to-head

Matches - 7

RCB-W won - 2

DC-W won - 5

RCB-W possible XI: Grace Harris, Smriti Mandhana (c), D Hemalatha, Gautami Naik, Radha Yadav, Richa Ghosh (wk), Nadine de Klerk, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Georgia Voll, Lauren Bell

DC-W possible XI: Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee (wk), Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues (c), Marizanne Kapp, Niki Prasad, Chinelle Henry, Sneh Rana, Minnu Mani, N Shree Charani, Nandani Sharma
