WPL 2026 DC vs RCB: Pitch report and key stats of DY Patil Stadium

The Dr DY Patil Cricket Stadium in Navi Mumbai will host its final Women’s Premier League 2026 fixture today when table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru lock horns with three-time champions Delhi Capitals in Match 11 of the season. RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana has won the toss and elected to bowl first on the night.

 

RCB have been one of the standout teams so far, beginning their campaign with two convincing wins and positioning themselves strongly in the race for the playoffs. Their consistency has made them a team to beat as the tournament gathers momentum.

 

Delhi Capitals, by contrast, had a rocky start, losing their first two matches and raising early concerns. However, their recent victory has injected fresh belief into the squad and kept their campaign alive.

 

 

With the league set to move into its second stage from Monday at a new venue, both sides will be desperate to add more points before leaving Navi Mumbai. The rivalry between these teams adds further intrigue, especially given that RCB claimed their 2024 WPL title by defeating Delhi in the final — a result DC will be eager to overturn.
