Royal Challengers Bengaluru stayed unbeaten in WPL 2026 with a 32 run win over Gujarat Giants on Friday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. As you watched the match unfold, RCB looked in control despite early setbacks.
RCB make it three wins in a row
RCB relied on key performances from Radha Yadav and Shreyanka Patil. Their combined impact helped the team secure a third straight victory and strengthen their position early in the season.
Fast start, sudden collapse
RCB began aggressively as Grace Harris smashed 23 runs in the first over. The momentum did not last long, and you saw four wickets fall within six overs as Gujarat fought back hard.
Top order fails under pressure
Smriti Mandhana managed just five runs, while Dayalan Hemalatha scored four. At 43 for 4, RCB were under serious pressure and needed a stabilising partnership to stay competitive.
Radha and Richa rebuild the innings
Radha Yadav took charge and rebuilt the innings with Richa Ghosh. Radha scored 66 off 47 balls for her first WPL fifty, while Richa added a sharp 44 from 28 deliveries.
Fifth wicket partnership changes the game
The duo stitched together a crucial 105 run stand for the fifth wicket. After Richa’s dismissal, Nadine de Klerk boosted the total with a quick 26 off 12 balls.
Missed chances hurt Gujarat
RCB finished on 182 for 7, helped by Gujarat dropping four catches. Sophie Devine stood out for Gujarat with three wickets but lacked support from the fielding unit.
Gujarat’s chase loses momentum
Gujarat started positively as Beth Mooney scored 27 off 14 balls. Once wickets began to fall, you could see the chase losing direction with mounting pressure.
Shreyanka Patil dominates middle overs
Shreyanka Patil delivered a match winning spell by removing key batters in the middle overs. Gujarat slipped to 70 for 5 and never regained control of the run chase.
Lower order resistance falls short
Bharati Fulmali and Kashvee Gautam attempted a recovery, but Shreyanka broke their stand. Lauren Bell supported well, picking up three wickets to tighten RCB’s grip.
Comfortable win for RCB
Shreyanka finished with 5 for 23 as Gujarat were bowled out for 150 in 18.5 overs. RCB sealed a 32 run win and remained perfect in WPL 2026.
Gujarat face tough questions
