🏏WPL 2026: FINAL: DC W vs RCB W at Vadodara on 05/02/26🏏 - Page 22

Mithun Manhas and Devajit Saikia present the WPL trophy to Smriti who collects it and then the entire RCB team pose for the photos. The trophy is hoisted high in the air by Richa Ghosh and then it is passed on to everyone else. Confetti rain from above as the shutterbugs click away. Now the support staff join the squad for photos. Lots of happy faces. The celebrations won't stop for now. Richa sprinkles some golden coloured confetti on top of Radha's head. They now go and pose behind the "ENTHRONED" sign as red confetti rains down on them. Georgia Voll takes a selfie on her mobile phone.

The sky sees gold and red confetti fly high in the air. Smriti is congratulated by Rajesh Menon, the head and vice-president of RCB. Then Smriti goes and picks up a young kid and keeps it in her arms. She is chatting away as the celebrations continue.

Smriti Mandhana, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain: Very pleased. RCB fans, I feel, are the best in the world. Wherever we play, we get support. Whatever we do is for them. Three titles in three years for the franchise, it is amazing. We definitely did think it was a good surface to bat on. But 200-plus is a good score in a final. In last few overs, we bowled well. Credit to Bell - 400 in a match and she goes for 20 odd runs. Voll led the way. She had almost all the strike in the powerplay and her intent was spot on. I had a feeling she would get a match winning knock in the final. She has been practicing a little extra in the past few days. Happy that it paid off for her. When we win, we can always say being calm and chill works. The way support staff has been around the girls, role clarity has been given. Credit to everyone and when that happens in the right way, our job is pretty easy to come in and lead the way. Girls are working extremely hard and that is one thing that shoots up your belief. When you have that belief, to chase down any score...once that happens, we felt really confident that we could chase it down. What Voll did was really special. (Who impressed her the most) The campaign we have had, everyone going back home will say what they have contributed. PK (Prathyoosha Kumar) was a girl who did not play a game but she was there. And then Gautami and Prema, they are two special youngsters. I want to thank all the RCB fans. This is for you guys. I said this in 2024, and will say it again 'Ee Sala Cup Namdu' (This year cup is ours).

RCB were the best team in the competition and deservingly finish as winners. They won 5 in a row, then lost two before winning their next two in a row to finish as champs. Smriti batted like a dream and the others chipped in. Whatever they tried worked. Delhi on the other hand were left to deal with heartache again. Fourth time in a row it has happened. What more could they do to win the title, they will be asking themselves. This will hurt them for a long time. After scoring 203, they were blown away by Voll and Smriti. Will take some time to recover from this. So yet another season of WPL ends and with RCB winning, it's the first time that both the men's and women's titles have been held by one franchise ever. Certainly a big achievement that. The party will go on all night on the streets of Bengaluru and wherever RCB's supporters are.
