WPL Schedule 2025

The schedule for the 2025 edition of the Women’s Premier League will be out soon.

The second edition of the tournament began on February 23 with the final played on March 17. And because the first three seasons (2023-25) were set to have 22 matches each, we could be looking for something similar in 2025 as well.

Each of the five teams will play the other twice (a total of 20 matches) in the league stage, followed by an Eliminator between the teams that finish second and third, and then a final between the winner of the Eliminator and the table-topper. Reports suggest that from the 2026 season, the women’s IPL will feature 33 or 34 matches.

The complete Women’s Premier League 2024 schedule fixtures are placed below.

WPL 2024 Player Auction – Key Highlights

The WPL squads for 2024 were announced following a one-day-long auction that took place on Saturday, December 9.

Annabel Sutherland was bought by Delhi Capitals for a whopping price of INR 2 crore, while Gujarat Giants pouched Phoebe Litchfield for INR 1 crore.

Gujarat Giants would bring in Meghna Singh as well, bagging her for INR 30 lakh, which would be the same price that UP Warriorz would pay to buy the services of Danielle Wyatt. Royal Challengers Bangalore got in Georgia Wareham for INR 40 lakh.

Kashvee Gautam and Vrinda Dinesh became the stories of the auction with the former getting picked for INR 2 crore by Gujarat Giants while the latter getting paid INR 1.3 crore by UP Warriorz to make their team.

Interestingly, Chamari Athapaththu failed to make it through yet again and won’t be featuring in the WPL despite being one of the best batters in the world in this format. Deandra Dottin and Australia allrounder Kim Garth were also not selected by any of the teams even as Kathryn Bryce of Scotland, the only player from a non-Full Member side got a call-up by Gujarat Giants for INR 10 lakh.

Even Devika Vaidya missed out on what was one of the more strange calls.

Some of the other Indians who were picked at the second WPL auction included Veda Krishnamurthy (INR 30 lakh), S Meghana (INR 30 lakh),  Simran Bahadur (INR 30 lakh), Gouher Sultana (INR 30 lakh) and Tarannum Pathan (INR 10 lakh).

WPL 2025 Format

The format for the WPL 2025 will be the same as the previous two editions.

Each of the five teams in the competition will face off against the other four on two occasions. While the tournament won’t be technically played on a home and away basis, each game will be designated a home game and an away game for the two teams featuring in it.

At the end of the 20 league stage matches, the WPL 2025 will see three playoff games. The team finishing at the top of the points table will enter the final and will face the winner of the Eliminator game between the teams ranked second and third.

The Eliminator and the Final are expected to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

What Happened in the 2024 WPL?

It was Royal Challengers Bangalore who ended their fans’ wait by clinching their maiden title in the WPL, defeating Delhi Capitals in the final.

Having struggled in the league stage of the competition, Royal Challengers Bangalore needed to win their final league stage game to qualify for the playoffs.

They did that in fine style on the back of an all-round showing by Ellyse Perry, overcoming the defending champion Mumbai Indians there.

And in the Eliminator, Bangalore trumped Mumbai Indians yet again, triggering a late collapse after Harmanpreet Kaur was dismissed.

Royal Challengers Bangalore set up a final meeting against Delhi Capitals, in which they would show their ability to come back from any scenario yet again.

Delhi piled up 64/0 in the eighth over but a Shefali Varma wicket changed all that. Sophie Molineux and Shreyanka Patil combined to grab seven wickets as Delhi fell away to 113 all out.

In response, Bangalore took their time but lost only two wickets in their victory with three balls remaining.

Molineux won the player-of-the-match award while UP Warriorz’s Deepti Sharma was declared the player-of-the-tournament for her fine all-round showing.

What Happened in the 2023 WPL?

The first-ever edition of the Women’s Premier League held in 2023 was won by Mumbai Indians, who defeated Delhi Capitals in the final.

Delhi and Mumbai had earlier topped the points table with 12 points apiece, while UP Warriorz had finished third. As a result of this, Delhi Capitals made a direct entry into the final while Mumbai was forced to overcome the Warriorz in the Eliminator to join them.

Helped by Natalie Sciver-Brunt’s 38-ball 72 in the Eliminator, Mumbai piled up 182/4 from their 20 overs. Issy Wong then picked up 4/15 from her four overs to bowl UP out for 110.

In the final, Hayley Matthews finished with figures of 3/5 from four overs which was instrumental in restricting Delhi to 131/9 from their 20 overs. Sciver-Brunt was at it again, hammering the Delhi bowlers to all parts of the ground with her unbeaten 60 to help Mumbai get to the target in the final over.
