WPL 2026 Prize Money: How much money will winning team & runners-up receive?
RCB and DC will lock horns in the final on February 5.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are the finalists of the Women’s Premier League (WPL 2026). Both sides will square off for the title in the WPL 2026 final on Thursday, February 5. The BCA Stadium in Vadodara is the venue of the summit clash.
Notably, both sides will lock horns for the second time in a WPL final. RCB Women, led by Smriti Mandhana, aim for their second title in the tournament’s history, having previously won in the 2024 edition. They were the most successful team in the league stage and bagged a berth in the final by topping the points table.
Under Jemimah Rodrigues’ captaincy, DC Women made a poor start but gained the winning momentum later. By crushing Gujarat Giants (GG) like a walk in the park by seven wickets in the Eliminator, they made it to the final for the fourth straight time.
However, since DC Women have been the runners-up in the last three editions, they are eager to win their first title in the WPL. Since both teams won one encounter against each other in the league stage, they seem equally powerful for the final.
