Georgia Voll helped RCB get to their fourth consecutive win in WPL 2026.
‘Beat the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) if you can’ seems to be an ideal mantra for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026. The 2024 WPL champions are on a winning spree, and Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll have just carried them to their fourth win on the trot.
After RCB’s bowlers ran riot in the first three overs of the first innings, Shafali Varma and Niki Prasad steadied the ship a bit. However, it was Shafali’s composed 62 which took the Delhi Capitals to a respectable total of 166.
To add to that, the Smriti Mandhana-led side lost Grace Harris quite early in the chase, and that is when Georgia Voll stepped up. The Australian scored an unbeaten 54 off just 42 deliveries with five fours and two sixes, taking the team over the line.
That being said, Voll revealed in the post-match interview that she had no clue she would play the game against DC till the morning of the clash. She expressed that it took her a bit of time to register that she wouldn’t be on the bench.
“I found out midday so just wanted to get my head around that I won’t be running the water but play some cricket. It has been a while. It was nice to get out and give an all out performance,” said Voll after her composed knock.

Whatever RCB are touching is turning into gold. Such was the case with the inclusion of Georgia Voll in the XI. RCB handed out two debuts today, the other one in the form of Sayali Satghare, who ran riot in the powerplay dismissing both Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp in the same over.
That being said, the inclusion of Georgia Voll does add a lot of value to the line-up. The franchise made a smart move by including the Australian which strengthened their batting line-up further – something that was looking very weak in the initial two games.
RCB won the first two games completely on the back of individual brilliance, but it would be pleasing for the fans to see that they are learning from their mistakes and are making an effort to fix their loopholes. Playing Voll in place of Linsey Smith as the overseas player did make a lot of sense.
Moreover, Voll is a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. In her brief career of six T20Is till now, she has already scored 210 runs at a strike-rate of 144.82 with two fifties to her name.
