The second season of the Women’s Premier League kicked off last month, on February 23 with a repeat of last season’s final between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.

The first fixture was a thriller, as debutant Sajeevan Sajana smashed a last-ball six to win the game for MI, and it set the tone for the rest of the tournament. The big names, both Indian and overseas have come to the party and enriched this season.
WPL 2024 playoffs – What is the format? How do the teams line up?
The five-team tournament will see the top three sides qualify for the knockout stage. The team at the top of the league after the group stage will qualify directly for the final, while second and third will play the eliminator. The winner of that match will meet first place in the final.
Last season, Delhi Capitals finished first, while Mumbai Indians beat UP Warriorz in the eliminator to make it to the final before winning the tournament. This year, DC are once again on top of the table, with one game to play. They will remain there, barring a massive loss to bottom of the table Gujarat Giants tonight.
The second and third-placed sides this year are Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who played each other last night. Australian superstar Ellyse Perry put on a spectacular all-round show, taking 6/15 to bowl MI out for 113, before scoring 40* to take RCB over the line.
At this point in the tournament, DC have looked the most well-rounded side, with the form of Jemimah Rodrigues being a massive boost. RCB have often relied on individual brilliance to scrape victories and despite their win over MI will be second-favourites in the eliminator. A repeat of last year’s final looks very much on the cards.
The eliminator will be on Friday, March 15 while the final takes place on Sunday.
