Royal Challengers Bengaluru were the deserving winners of WPL 2026. They were the most consistent side and looked like a team to beat. Delhi Capitals did a lot of things right, and they were on top in the final after the first half, but they lost their composure and that’s what cost them the game. All in all, it was a terrific tournament to witness.
