The 2024 Women's Premier League (also known as WPL 2024 and branded as TATA WPL 2024) was the second 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). The tournament, featuring five teams, was held from 23 February to 17 March 2024.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the title after defeating Delhi Capitals in the final. This was Royal Challengers franchise's maiden title across both men's and women's tournaments.[1]
Five teams are scheduled to play in 2024. The tournament involves each team playing every other team twice in a home-and-away, double round-robin format. After the double round-robin league, the top three teams qualify for the playoffs based on aggregate points. The team with the highest points will automatically qualify for the final match. The second and third-placed teams will compete with each other (in a match titled "Eliminator"). The winner of the Eliminator match will move on to the final match.
The schedule of the first phase of the IPL 2024 was announced on 24 January 2024.[2] The opening match of the tournament was played between the defending champions Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals on 23 February 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. The final match was played on 17 March 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi with Royal Challengers Bangalore defeating the Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets.
