The 2023 Women's Premier League, also known as the TATA WPL 2023 for sponsorship reasons, was the inaugural season of the Women's Premier League, a women's franchise Twenty20 cricket league organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).[1] The tournament featured five teams and was held from 4 March to 26 March 2023.[2][3][4][5]
In the final, Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals to win the competition.
Background[edit]
The prize money for the season was ₹10 crore (US$1.1 million).[6] Tickets for matches were free to women during the first season.[7] The opening ceremony took place on 4 March at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with AP Dhillon, Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani performing.[8]
Starting this season, both teams could use the Decision Review System to challenge no-ball and wide ball calls. The rule was implemented in the 2023 IPL season.[9]
Venues[edit]
Matches were played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with the latter hosting the final. Attendances were between 9,000-13,000 on average, with some matches reaching 30,000 and the final was a sellout.[10]
