Mumbai – The hub of women’s cricket
Mumbai has always been a hub for women’s cricket in India. The city’s stadiums, like Brabourne, Wankhede, and DY Patil, are always packed when women’s cricket teams play. That’s why the BCCI decided to start the tournament in Mumbai. The first match will be played at the iconic Brabourne Stadium. Also the first season of the WPL happened in Brbourne and DY Patil Stadium which attracted a crowd. While, Bengaluru and Delhi hosted it the year before.
