The opening match will see defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru, RCB face Gujarat Giants at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. India’s star opener Smriti Mandhana will captain RCB, while Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner will lead the Gujarat Giants. The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.
The tournament, featuring five teams, RCB, Gujarat Giants, Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz, and Mumbai Indians, will run until March 15, with the final scheduled at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
Since its establishment in 2023, the WPL has offered players a golden chance to showcase their talent and act as a springboard to fulfill their ambitions of playing for the Indian team through matches in Mumbai, Bengaluru and New Delhi.
Now this time, for its third season, apart from Mumbai and Bengaluru, the WPL will extend its wings to two new cities – Vadodara and Lucknow – with Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz set to experience home comforts for the first time.
