The Women's Premier League (WPL) is a domestic, annual Women's Twenty20 cricket tournament in India, organized by the WPL Governing Council, under the aegis of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). [3] [4]
WPL was established in 2023 [5] [6] and currently consists of five teams in five cities across India. The inaugural WPL season was won by Mumbai Indians. [7] As of 2025, there have been three seasons of the WPL tournament. [8] [9] [10]
In the WPL tournament, each team plays every other team twice in a double round-robin format. At the conclusion of the double round-robin league, on the basis of aggregate points, the top four teams qualify for the playoffs. In this stage, the second and third placed teams compete with each other (in a match titled "Eliminator"), while the top placed team directly qualifies for the final match. The winner of the Eliminator match moves onto the final match. The team that wins the final match is crowned the Women's Premier League champion. [11] [12]
Altogether, five teams have played in the past three seasons of the WPL tournament: Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and UP Warriorz. Mumbai Indians is the most successful team, having won 2 titles. [8] [9] [10]
