WPL 2026: RCB vs DC - Vadodara pitch report and Kotambi Stadium key stats

RCB vs DC WPL 2026 playing 11:  RCB playing 11 vs DC: Grace Harris, Smriti Mandhana(c), Georgia Voll, Gautami Naik, Richa Ghosh(w), Nadine de Klerk, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Sayali Satghare, Lauren Bell  DC playing 11 vs RCB: Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee(w), Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues(c), Marizanne Kapp, Niki Prasad, Sneh Rana, Chinelle Henry, Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma, Minnu Mani 

The contest could prove pivotal in shaping the playoff picture, with RCB eyeing a direct entry into the final and DC fighting to stay firmly in contention.

 

 

Unbeaten in the tournament so far, RCB have looked a cut above the rest. Their batting has revolved around the composure and consistency of Smriti Mandhana, while Georgia Voll has added stability in the middle order and Richa Ghosh has provided late-innings firepower. The bowling unit has complemented the batters well, with Shreyanka Patil emerging as a reliable wicket-taker and Lauren Bell striking early. Nadine de Klerk’s versatility has further strengthened RCB’s balance, allowing them to dominate key phases of matches.

 

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have endured a stop-start campaign. Although they boast match-winners like Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp, sustained performances have been hard to come by. Having already suffered a defeat to RCB earlier, DC will need a near-perfect outing to revive their playoff hopes and derail Bengaluru’s unbeaten run.
