Royal Challengers Bengaluru achieved a historic third consecutive victory in the 2026 Women's Premier League, defeating Gujarat Giants by 32 runs. The win was spearheaded by Shreyanka Patil, who became the youngest bowler in WPL history to claim a five-wicket haul, finishing with remarkable figures of 5 for 23. This remarkable bowling display restricted the Gujarat Giants to 150 all out in their chase.
Earlier in the match, RCB's batting order faced early setbacks, finding themselves at 43 for 4. However, a pivotal 105-run partnership between Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh rescued the innings, steering them to a competitive total of 182 for 7. Yadav reached her fifty off 36 balls, with Ghosh providing crucial support.
In response, Gujarat Giants started with intent, but consistent wicket-falls hampered their progress. Despite Bharti Fulmali's top-scoring 39, Patil's bowling prowess and contributions from other RCB bowlers ensured the Giants fell short, securing a significant win for Bengaluru.
