Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women contest the 11th match of the Women’s Premier League 2026 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, on Saturday 17 January, with the game under lights from 7:30 pm local time.
Delhi’s likely line-up has plenty of top-order quality in Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt and Lizelle Lee, with captain Jemimah Rodrigues and the all-round pair of Marizanne Kapp and Chinelle Henry giving depth. Sneh Rana, Minnu Mani, Nandni Sharma and Shree Charani make up the rest of the side.
RCB Women have Grace Harris and captain Smriti Mandhana at the top, Richa Ghosh as wicketkeeper and finisher, and the all-round talent of Nadine de Klerk and Arundhati Reddy. Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, Linsey Smith and Lauren Bell give the attack variety. Given the true surface and quick outfield, we expect a high-scoring, quick-paced contest. The powerplay overs and death bowling are likely to be decisive, and the side that handles dew in the chase best will have an advantage.
