Women's Premier League 2025

The third edition of the Women's Premier League concluded on March 15, 2025, with the Mumbai Indians defeating the Delhi Capitals by 8 runs.

History of the Women's Premier League

The Indian women's cricket team went unnoticed for many years despite their impressive performances. However, their fantastic run as runners-up in the 2017 ODI World Cup placed them firmly on the map. With the rapid growth of T20 cricket combined with the soaring popularity of the women's game, it was only a matter of time before women's T20 leagues sprouted across the globe.

Indian players such as Smriti Mandhana, Jemima Rodrigues, and Shafali Verma have played in the Women’s Big Bash League and the famous 'The Hundred' short-format cricket tournament. Now, more women players have joined the female Premier League to make the women's version of the Indian Premier League successful with great performances.

Women's Premier League 2025 venues

The third edition of the premier women’s league included 22 matches that were held in four stadiums across India: Vadodara, Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Mumbai.

Top Women's Premier League Fantasy Players to watch

The Ladies Premier League has five teams, and 124 players went under the hammer in the WPL 2025. We take a look at some of our top fantasy WPL team picks:

Ashleigh Gardner

Ashleigh has become a mainstay of the Australian women's team, she has scored 567 runs in 25 matches with a strike rate of 141.75 in ladies’ premier league matches, averaging 24.65. She could become a valuable asset to your fantasy team with a bowling strike rate of 19.56 deliveries per wicket. Ashleigh also won the 'Player of the Series award in the T20 series against India held in 2022 in the subcontinent. This makes her a key player in any T20 league fantasy team.
Smriti Mandhana

Smriti is a part of the WPL’s Bangalore team. She fetched a price of Rs. 3.4 crore in the IPL 2025. The left-handed batter has been named captain of the franchise. She has played 26 WPL matches, scored 646 runs and has an explosive strike rate of 128.68. Smriti has an array of shots in her arsenal. She also bats deep, which could allow the other striker to go for big shots.
Deepti Sharma

Deepti Sharma from UP Warriorz has played 25 matches, scored 507 runs and took 27 wickets in the Women’s Premier League. Her bowling strike rate of 21.18 with an economy of 8.29 makes her highly lethal. Additionally, WPL batting average of 281.16 makes her sound in the middle order, especially during a batting collapse.
Beth Mooney

While Alyssa Healy is considered the more prolific striker, her opening partner Beth Mooney must be noticed. Beth is from Gujarat Giants and has scored 522 runs in 18 matches with a strike rate of 133.84 and average of 34.80 make her a perfect fit for this version of the game.
Sophie Ecclestone

Sophie is one of the best spin bowlers in the world. UP Warriorz retained her for 1.8 crores at the player auction in the WPL 2025. She has picked 36 wickets in 25 matches, with a bowling strike rate of 16.50 and an average of 6.68. This makes them one of the clear favourites to land the title.
