The WPL 2026 will host its final match of the season at the Dr DY Patil Cricket Stadium in Navi Mumbai today, when the in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on resurgent Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 11 of the season. RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana has won the toss and elected to bowl first on the night. RCB have started their season with back-to-back wins and are leading the race to the play-offs. On the other hand, three-time champions Delhi Capitals, despite starting their season with back-to-back losses, are finally back on track with a win.
The tournament will head into its second stage starting Monday, and both teams would want to add a few more points to their tally before moving out of Navi Mumbai. Notably, both teams share a unique WPL rivalry, as it was DC whom RCB beat to win the title in 2024.
With all that in mind, let’s take a look at how the DC vs RCB head-to-head encounters have panned out over the years.
