Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy said she relishes the unpredictability of the points table in 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL), pointing out that the uncertainty over who would finish at which spot has kept players and fans equally engrossed.

Barring the already qualified Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the rest of the four teams – Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants – are still in the hunt for sealing two remaining spots. DC beating RCB to be at second position on the points table on Saturday has kept the playoffs race wide open.

"This was a very important victory for Delhi Capitals against RCB, because their next game is against Gujarat Giants. These two points give them an edge going into that match.
