RCB-W vs DC-W, Match 15, Cricket Tips :It has been a dream run for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL 2026, as they have kept their top position intact and also become the first team to qualify for the playoffs. But their next target will be to make it to the final by finishing the league stage at the top of the table. They are scheduled to take on the three-time finalist, Delhi Capitals, in the next game of the season. This contest has a scheduled start of 7:30 PM IST on Saturday at BCA Stadium.

RCB-W vs DC-W: Head-to-Head in WPL Total Matches : 8 Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women : 3 Delhi Capitals Women : 5 No-Result : 0 RCB-W vs DC-W: Ground Pitch Report The wicket is pretty flat, and bowlers have very little help from the wicket. The fast bowlers can get some swing when the ball is new, and spinners can grip the ball when they ball slow. For bowlers, the use of slower ones and cutters will be more useful. The chasing team will benefit from this wicket. RCB-W vs DC-W: Possible XIs Royal Challengers Bengaluru : Smriti Mandhana (c), Grace Harris, Georgia Voll, Radha Yadav, Nadine de Klerk, Richa Ghosh (wk), Gautami Naik, Prema Rawat, Shreyanka Patil, Sayali Satghare, Lauren Bell Delhi Capitals : Laura Wolvaardt, Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee (wk), Marizanne Kapp, Jemimah Rodrigues (c), Niki Prasad, Lucy Hamilton, Deeya Yadav, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma RCB-W vs DC-W: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Smriti Mandhana scored 96 off 61 last time when these two teams met. She will be looking for something similar here. For DC-W, the form of Lizelle Lee will be key. She scores quickly. Probable Best Bowler Lauren Bell has become the go-to bowler for RCB-W, and she has taken the challenge and performed well. For DC-W, Nadani Sharma has been pretty good and has taken most wickets for her team. Today Match Prediction : Both teams have a good combination but RCB-W are in good form and their bowling unit is the reason, we predict them to beat DC-W on Saturday.
