Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women have made Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 history with their winning streak in the tournament, booking their place in the playoffs in commanding fashion. Their latest victory, a strong performance against Gujarat Giants Women, sealed another milestone in what has become one of the most dominant starts to a WPL season.
Strong start builds momentum
RCB’s run in WPL 2026 began with a thrilling win over MI followed by a series of convincing wins. After thrashing UP Warriorz Women by nine wickets in one of their early matches, RCB continued their unbeaten form with victories over sides like Delhi Capitals Women, where captain Smriti Mandhana led the charge with her batting, narrowly missing a century but anchoring their chase comfortably.
Their unbeaten streak continued with impactful all-round performances, including a five-wicket haul from Shreyanka Patil and crucial contributions from players like Grace Harris, Lauren Bell, Radha Yadav, Nadine de Klerk & others.
Historic sixth consecutive win
In their most recent encounter against Gujarat Giants at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, RCB once again showcased their depth and balance. On the back of a brilliant 73 by Gautami Naik & 3-fer by Sayali Satghare, they completed their 5th straight win of the season, officially qualifying for the WPL 2026 playoffs, winning the match by 61 runs.
The achievement is notable not only for the raw number of wins but also because it represents the first time a team has won six consecutive WPL games since the league began (as RCB also won their last game of WPL 2025), setting a new benchmark in the competition’s brief history.
What this means for RCB
RCB’s perfect start highlights a remarkable blend of batting firepower, bowling discipline and fielding intensity. Their net run rate and consistency have set them apart, and with playoffs now secured early, they can plan strategically for the business end of the tournament to finish top of the table, which will guarantee them a direct place in final.
As one of the most complete sides this season, RCB’s fans and analysts alike will now watch closely to see if they can translate this historic run into WPL 2026 title success.
