Royal Challengers Bangalore women's cricket team had a disappointing campaign in the ongoing Women's Premier League 2023 season. RCB finished their run in the WPL 2023 with a loss against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday (March 21) by four wickets.

With this win, Mumbai Indians moved on top of the WPL standings before Delhi Capitals sealed their spot in the final with a win in the evening game.
