The second season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) began in Bengaluru on February 23.
Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) started their title defence with a resounding victory over the last year’s runner-ups Delhi Capitals (DC) in the opening clash of the T20 league.
In total, 22 matches will be played across two venues – Bengaluru and Delhi. Besides MI and DC, UP Warriorz, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Giants (GG) will compete against each other twice in a double round-robin format.
The second and third-ranked teams will play the Qualifier on March 15, while the table-topper will directly reach the final.
The winner of the Qualifier will cross swords with the table topper in the summit clash on March 17.
No Kate Cross in the commentary panel this year
England pacer Kate Cross, who graced the audience with her expert views in WPL 2023, has been signed by RCB for the ongoing season. So, she won’t be there in the commentary this year.
In fact, the broadcasters have acquired the services of Natalie Germanos, a well-known South African media personality and sports commentator, for WPL 2024; therefore, the fans won’t feel the absence of Cross in the commentary panel.
