Women's Indian Premier League: Women's 1st IPL 2023

Women's Indian Premier League: Women's 1st IPL 2023

Five franchises will compete in the inaugural season of the Women's Premier League, with matches live on Sky Sports throughout March; Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone are among the English contingent in action. 

The inaugural league runs across 22 days in March and features five city-based teams in a franchise T20 competition: Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Lucknow.

Every team plays the other four twice in a round-robin group stage, with the top three progressing to the play-off stage. The league winners automatically reach the final, with the second and third-place teams competing in an eliminator to decide who else feature in the season-ender on March 26.

The first-ever WPL auction took place earlier this year, where Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone were sold for £320,000 and £180,000 respectively, with several other England players set to feature in the new competition.

The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) received 1,525 applications for the tournament - the equivalent of the men's Indian Premier League - with 246 Indians and 163 overseas players reaching the shortlist.

Across the five franchises, 90 slots were available, with 30 places reserved for overseas players - six per franchise. Each team had roughly £1.2m to spend to form their 15-18 player squads, with the most sought-after players earning six-figure deals.

Participating Teams

• Royal Challengers Bangalore
• Mumbai Indians
• Delhi Capitals
• Gujarat Giants
• Lucknow Warriorz
