The brand-new Women’s Premier League (WPL) is finally here. The women’s Twenty20 cricket league has seen some of the big names in women cricket battling it out to win the prestigious trophy.

The first-ever Women’s Premier League has started from 4th March and will end on March 26th with a total of 22 matches. There are a total of 5 teams competing with each other to win the trophy.
Delhi Capitals will be facing Gujarat Giants in the 14th match of WPL 2023. Delhi Capitals’ captain for this match is Meg Lanning, while Gujarat Giants will be led by Sneh Rana.
