Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) clinched their first Women's Premier League (WPL) title, ending a 16-year trophy drought by defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 8 wickets in the final, marking RCB's first WPL win over DC. The match was characterized by Delhi's batting collapse after Meg Lanning won the toss and chose to bat first. Significant contributions came from RCB players, with Ellyse Perry and Shreyanka Patil standing out. Perry, leading the run-scorer chart, delivered consistent performances throughout the tournament, including a crucial 35* in the final. Patil emerged as a top wicket-taker, showcasing her skills with back-to-back four-wicket hauls against DC, including the final. Smriti Mandhana, celebrated as RCB's first trophy-winning captain, led the team to victory. The win was celebrated by fans and recognized by various personalities, including Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, highlighting the rising prominence of women's cricket in India.
