All eyes on Delhi Capitals
Can DC break their trophy jinx?
Delhi Capitals have definitely been the most consistent teams in the WPL history with four finals in as many seasons; however, they have been equally unfortunate as well, having lost all four finals, with Mumbai Indians (2023 and 2025) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2024 and 2026) beating them twice each.
Will the Jemimah Rodrigues-led side go the distance this time round?
Do we know who RCB are eyeing for already?
RCB Women may have just given a hint that they are eyeing for a few uncapped names at the table this evening. Who do you think will make it to their squad with 1.15 crore in their pocket?

All eyes on Chamari Athapaththu
With exceptional performances in international cricket over the last couple of seasons and a rise in her skills and experience, Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu's name is expected to make a lot of noise in the auction room in moments from now. She can bat, she can bowl, and she also brings the captaincy and leadership mantle along with the reputation of being a genuine match-winner.
