WPL 2024 full Schedule: Mumbai-Delhi clash to start from 23rd February

The schedule for the second season of the Women's Premier League (WPL) has been announced. The WPL 2024 will begin on February 23 in Bengaluru, with the opening match being played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.

The opening match will be held at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Last season's title match was also played between these two. The matches will be played in two legs. The first leg will be in Bengaluru and the second leg in Delhi.

According to the WPL 2024 schedule prepared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the second match will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz. The final will be played on March 17. Before this, there will be an eliminator game on March 15. Both the games will be held in Delhi. There will be a total of 22-games between the five teams.

The Bengaluru leg will run till March 4 and then the WPL 2024 bandwagon will move to the national capital where the competition will begin the next day. There will be no double headers in the 24-day second season and all matches will start at 7:30 pm. However, a team must play back to back games on consecutive days. The WPL was originally planned to be held in a home-and-away model like the Indian Premier League (IPL), but the BCCI is facing challenges to the plan.

The first season of WPL was played entirely in Mumbai. Like the Bengaluru leg, the Delhi leg will also begin with a match between last year's finalists - Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. All the games of the capital will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The WPL 2024 will follow the same format as last year, with the top three teams in league stage qualifying for the playoffs. The team that finishes at the top of league table will qualify for the final directly, while the teams finishing second and third will play the Eliminator on March 15.
