More about the tournament

The Women's Premier League (WPL) is a Twenty20 cricket franchise league exclusively for women in India. Owned and managed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it made its debut in March 2023. The inaugural season concluded with Mumbai Indians clinching the coveted title. The league's inception followed BCCI President Sourav Ganguly's announcement in February 2022, outlining intentions to introduce a women's counterpart to the renowned Indian Premier League (IPL), a prominent men's Twenty20 franchise cricket tournament in India, effectively replacing the Women's T20 Challenge.
