WPL 2024 May Follow Multi-City Format; Mumbai, Bengaluru Front-Runners
The second edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) is likely to follow a multi-city format similar to the IPL and the matches may be played across Mumbai and Bengaluru. All the matches of the inaugural WPL was played between March 4 and 26 earlier this year at the DY Patil Stadium and the Brabourne Stadium. “The final decision (about venues) might come on December 9 (the day of the WPL auction) but it is highly likely that this year it (WPL) will follow the multi-city format with Mumbai and Bengaluru being the front-runners at this moment,” a BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity. “The WPL was received well by the fans in the opening year, and it is the right time to take it to different cities. Bengaluru always has a good audience for women's cricket, and it has now grown because of the RCB women's team.” Mumbai and Karnataka cricket association officials too expressed readiness to host the matches, if indeed they come their way.

Smriti Mandhana Bats For Multi-City Format In WPL To Bring New Audience
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) women's team captain and Indian women's cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has shared her perspectives on the potential impact of a multi-city format for the Women's Premier League (WPL). She was speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab's Leaders Meet India in Bengaluru. Reflecting on the success of the WPL, Smriti Mandhana expressed enthusiasm for the prospect of adopting a multi-city format at the first-of-its-kind summit that brought together influential leaders from various industries to delve into the future of sports. "It would be great to have WPL in the multi-city format. I think that might be the next step and I am sure the people right here would look into it and make it happen. As an RCB fan, I would love to play in Chinnaswamy where people are chanting 'RCB RCB' and just to be in that environment. That is something which is one step ahead for us that it (multi-city format) can reach to places where women's cricket hasn't reached and to get new audience going into women's cricket," Mandhana said, according to a RCB release.
