The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 points table shows an early but clear separation between the teams. The net run rate is already playing a decisive role.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, helmed by Smriti Mandhana, sit at the top after winning both their matches. With 4 points from two games and a very strong net run rate of +1.964, RCB have started the season in dominant fashion.
Mumbai Indians Women are second with 4 points, but from 4 matches. Two wins and two losses show inconsistency, and MI’s net run rate of +0.469 keeps Harmanpreet Kaur’s team below RCB.
Gujarat Giants Women, captained by Ashleigh Gardner, hold third place with 4 points from three matches. Two wins and one loss, along with a modest positive net run rate of +0.105, indicate competitive performances without big margins.
Delhi Capitals Women, led by Jemimah Rodrigues, are fourth with 2 points from three games. Their negative net run rate of -0.833 reflects heavy losses despite one win.
UP Warriorz Women are currently at the bottom. Meg Lanning’s team is struggling with one win from four matches and a net run rate of -0.906.
