The Mumbai Indians women cricket team are set to take on Gujarat Giants women cricket in the opener of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 on Saturday (March 4) at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. Australia wicket-keeper batter Beth Mooney is set to lead the Gujarat Giants along with Sneh Rana as the vice-captain. On the other hand, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the MI side in hope of repeating the heroics of the men's team, who have won the IPL title a record five times.
History is set to be written as it is a big day for women's cricket. The first WPL will surely have some exciting action and it will be compared to the other leagues around the globe like the Women's Big Bash League and England's The Hundred women competition. The WPL 2023 will help India's women cricket find new talents just like the IPL has does.
The timing of the match has been changed. Now, the toss will take place at 7:30 PM (IST) instead of 7:00 PM (IST) and the action will start at 8 PM.
