Mumbai’s victory over Gujarat in the Women’s Premier League’s inaugural season was a terrific way for the competition to get off to a strong start. The second match, between Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Bangalore, will resume soon.

Powerhouse captains like Smriti Mandhana and Meg Lanning will be concentrating on their strategies to ensure that their team advances past the first round of the WPL.

The BCCI has made several amazing decisions, starting with Per Match Value, which offers cash incentives to various players so they can advance in the ranks and establish themselves.

By lowering the boundary distance by 5 metres to 55 metres, BCCI has raised the bar for this competition, guaranteeing that more consecutive fours and sixes will be struck.

The amount of fours and sixes that are regularly hit in T20 cricket determines how exciting the game is, therefore this choice is fantastic from the batters’ perspective.

For bowlers, it would be challenging because even a small error may leave them badly defeated.

The template for reducing the boundary size was completely taken from the recently concluded T20 World Cup was exactly played on 55 metres boundary size.

WPL couldn’t have asked for better start for the marquee event, with Harmanpreet Kaur scored blistering half century to set the foundation for the event.

Today there will be double header competition which will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and Delhi Capitals Women followed by second game between UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants.
