The Royal Challengers Bengaluru delivered a stunning performance in the Women's Premier League final, achieving the biggest successful chase in the tournament's history by surpassing Delhi Capitals' score of 203-4. Thursday's triumph marked Bengaluru's second title in the Indian franchise-based Twenty20 league.

Delhi, opting to bat first in Vadodara, set a formidable target thanks to contributions from their openers Shefali Verma and Lizelle Lee, followed by captain Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt. Despite an exceptional four-over spell from Lauren Bell, Bengaluru was undeterred in their pursuit.
