The final saw a brilliant batting performance from RCB, led by Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll. After the early dismissal of Grace Harris, the duo took complete control of the chase. They stitched together a massive 165-run partnership, which turned the match in RCB’s favour.
Mandhana played a stunning captain’s knock, scoring 87 runs off 41 balls, including 12 fours and three sixes. Georgia Voll supported her beautifully with 79 runs off 54 balls, hitting 14 boundaries. Thanks to their efforts, RCB reached 204/4 in 19.4 overs.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals had posted 203/4, the highest total ever in a WPL final. Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt played key roles for DC, while Chinelle Henry’s quick unbeaten knock pushed the score past 200. However, RCB’s strong batting proved too good on the day.
