The Women’s Premier League is in its fourth edition, and teams have revamped their playing squads, with several new additions and key players from other sides moving to other franchises. Currently, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, who are looking to win the WPL in 2024, are on top of the points table.
However, Mumbai Indians follow RCB Women in the points table with their higher net run-rate
Vaishnavi Sharma gets first contract in WPL
Mumbai Indians have suffered a big blow as their player G. Kamalini has been ruled out of the remainder of the WPL season due to injury.
