Women’s Premier League 2024 is set to dazzle and sizzle the cricket fans for the second season. Last year the cricket fans witnessed a storm in Mumbai as the best Women’s players in the world took to the field. This year the action gets bigger and better as five teams will compete for the best domestic T20 Women’s title.
Mumbai Indians (MUM-W) are the current champions and Harmanpreet Kaur will know the pressure is on her team. Last year the team played flawless cricket to claim the title in front of their home fans. The likes of Izzy Wong, Hayley Matthews, and Natalie Sciver Brunt will yet again hope to put Mumbai on the podium.
Delhi Capitals (DEL-W) and Meg Lanning were the only teams that seemed like they could stop the Mumbai juggernaut. Shafali Varma and Jemimah Rodrigues in particular will use this season to further their reputation.
