Each year now, cricket fans are delighted as they welcome not just the Men’s regular IPL, but the women’s version of the famed franchise based competition that’s consistently breaking new grounds: WPL. And this year, as well, the Women’s Premier League has both entertained and enthralled fans and inveterate cricket lovers producing stunning match results and as seen thus far, a memorable result for the women of Delhi. So let’s deep dive into the journey of a popular team that is soon going to lock horns against none other than Smriti Mandhana’s Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Led calmly by their captain, Delhi have combined tactical clarity with fearless batting, making them early favourites for a place in the final.
So far, the tournament has delivered competitive cricket, close finishes, and standout individual performances. Jemimah Rodrigues as captain has delivered great results; her latest score being the unbeaten 51 that helped her team at a timely interval.
This isn’t the first time that the DC are entering the series’s finals. They’ve made it to the ultimate stage on every single occasion since the inception of the tournament.
With teams having played the bulk of their league fixtures, the table has begun to take shape.
The Delhi Capitals have featured in high-intensity matches, often setting the tempo in the powerplay and defending totals with disciplined bowling in the death overs.
Overall results
Delhi have played eight matches so far, registering five wins, two losses, and one no-result, giving them a healthy win percentage of 62.5%.
Their victories have come through balanced team efforts rather than reliance on one star, a key factor separating them from mid-table sides. The road to the finals, however, remains demanding.
Crucial clashes against fellow playoff contenders will test Delhi’s bench strength and adaptability on varying pitches.
Fielding consistency and middle-overs acceleration will be areas under scrutiny as the pressure rises.
Parting note
As WPL 2026 heads into its decisive phase, Delhi’s form, experience, and winning mindset place them firmly on course—but the margins for error are now slimmer than ever.
