Royal Challengers Bengaluru women have created an all-time record in the Women’s Premier League after defeating Gujarat Giants in their fifth match of the tournament.
Bengaluru put up a brilliant all-round performance in the first match of the season at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, Vadodara as the tournament has now moved from Navi Mumbai. RCB maintained their strong run and registered their fifth win in as many games this season. They are the only unbeaten team in the ongoing season.
With this win, RCB have made it to the playoffs with 10 points in five matches. Meanwhile, RCB have also achieved an all-time record in the WPL. RCB have become the first team to win six matches in a row in the WPL. They had previously been on a five-match winning streak in 2024-25. The only other team with five consecutive wins are Mumbai Indians, who had done this twice: once in 2023 and then in 2023/24. RCBW were tied with them but are now above them.
Most consecutive wins in WPL:
6 – RCB-W (2025-26)
5 – MI-W (2023)

Lauren Bell struck next as she removed Kanika Ahuja, before Nadine de Klerk, Shreyanka Patil and Radha Yadav joined the party.
