The very first Women’s Premier League (WPL) begins on Saturday evening in Mumbai as Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians get the tournament underway.

This fixture begins at the DY Patil Stadium at 19:30 local time.
Gujarat Giants have recruited some excellent players ahead of this tournament and it would be a surprise if they are not one of the teams involved in the play-offs. However, it is a very tough opening fixture against Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indians will have plenty of expectations and have a strong playing squad as well as management team. They have the personnel to get off to a winning start in Mumbai.

Gujarat Giants Team News & Playing 11
GUJ-W Team News
There is a strong Australian influence in the Gujarat Giants squad with former international Rachael Haynes coaching the side and Beth Mooney captaining the side. With Australia Women’s dominance of cricket over the last decade, the Giants could well be a team to watch in the WPL 2023.
GUJ-W Key Players
- Beth Mooney- the skipper will have plenty to do during the match as she will also open the batting as well as keeping-wicket in the field. She hit 74 not out in the T20 World Cup Final on Sunday.
- Ashleigh Gardner- the Australian all-rounder was the standout player during the T20 World Cup. She took the Player of the Series award and will relish the challenge of proving herself in the WPL.
- Sneh Rana- the off-spinning all-rounder struggled at times in South Africa but should be much more comfortable on this surface in Mumbai.
