Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued their dream run in the WPL 2026 as they registered their third straight win of the league. They thrashed Gujarat Giants by 32 runs at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai on Friday. Asked to bat, Bengaluru piled up 182 for seven, and then ended Gujarat’s innings on 150 to win with ease.

RCB had a worst possible start to their innings as they lost wickets in clusters at the top. Grace Harris, who scored 17 was the first wicket to fall, and then Smriti Mandhana, Dayalan Hemalatha and Gautami Naik followed as Bengaluru lost four wickets inside the powerplay. 

With the side struggling at 43 for four, Radha Yadav (66) took matters into her own hands. She along with Richa Ghosh (44) took the attack back to the Gujarat bowlers and added 105 runs for the fifth wicket. 

With momentum back in Bengaluru’s court, Nadine de Klerk (26) provided the finishing touch and took her team to a total of 182 for seven. For Gujarat, Sophie Devine picked three wickets.
