RCB Women 2024: A Historic WPL Win That Changed Everything

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women finally made history. After years of waiting, the famous chant — Ee Sala Cup Namdu — came true in 2024. RCB Women lifted their first-ever Women’s Premier League (WPL) trophy and gave their fans a moment to remember forever.

A Story of Redemption

The 2023 season was disappointing for RCB Women. Big names, big hopes, but poor results. They finished outside the top spots and had to watch others celebrate.

With a stronger team and better planning, they entered WPL 2024 with quiet confidence. Led by Smriti Mandhana and backed by stars like Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux, and Shreyanka Patil, the team looked balanced and focused.

The Road to Glory

RCB didn’t dominate the group stage, but they played smart. They won just enough matches to qualify for the playoffs.

Here’s what their path looked like:

  • Group Stage: 3rd place finish
  • Eliminator: Beat Mumbai Indians
  • Final: Beat Delhi Capitals

They peaked at the right time. And that made all the difference.

  • WPL 2024 Final: Spin Wins the Cup
  • Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
  • Date: 17 March 2024
  • Opponent: Delhi Capitals Women

Delhi Capitals started strong in the final. They reached 64/0 in the early overs. But then came the spin storm.

Match-Turning Moment:

They were all out for just 113 runs.

RCB chased it calmly. Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh guided the team home. RCB won by 8 wickets, with just 3 balls left.
