The Women’s T20 challenge is back, and its bigger & better! From the single exhibition game that happened last year, this time there will be a short tournament format with 4 games. Add to that the introduction of a third team “Velocity”, there is a lot of excitement this time around as we move closer towards realizing the dream of a Women’s IPL tournament. The most important takeaway though is the exposure young talents will get playing with international cricketers. A privilege that was only available to national team players earlier.

This time all the games will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur with the final slated for 11th May.

Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj will be leading the sides.
