    WPL 2026: Mandhana's Masterclass Keeps RCB Unbeaten With Fourth Win

    By IANS News January 17, 2026 • 23:36 PM View: 106
    DY Patil Sports Academy: Smriti Mandhana fell heartbreakingly short of a maiden Women's Premier League (WPL) century, but her commanding 96 set up Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) emphatic eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals, as RCB made it four wins in as many matches to remain unbeaten at the top of the WPL 2026 points table at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy.

    As RCB chased down a target of 167, they wrapped up their last game of the Navi Mumbai leg comfortably with ten balls remaining. This comprehensive victory was slightly tempered by the fact that Smriti Mandhana was out for 96 in 61 balls for RCB, denying the league its first century.

    Earlier, Smriti Mandhana decided to bowl after winning the toss, which reaped immediate benefits for RCB. Lauren Bell had an incredible first over, causing damage to DC with two early wickets, Lizee Lee (4) and Laura Wolvaardt (0). The pressure increased when Sayali Satghare, stepping in for Ellyse Perry, took two wickets in her next over. She bowled out Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp on consecutive deliveries, leaving DC in a tough spot at 10/4 within two overs.
