The inaugural edition of the Women's T20 League (WTL) is set to kick off today (March 04, Saturday) with a blockbuster clash between the Mumbai franchise and the Gujarat franchise at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, tickets for the March 6 clash between two popular franchises, Bangalore and Mumbai, are sold out. Both the teams have been crowd favorites in the men's T20 league over the years with their impressive performances and fans expect the same entertainment from the women players.

The Indian Cricket Board has been able to pull off their long-held dream with the hope that WTL will be a great platform for players to showcase their talent alongside players from around the world. Apart from Mumbai, Bangalore and Gujarat, the other two teams participating in the inaugural edition of the WTL are Delhi and UP. The matches will be held in Mumbai at two venues, namely DY Patil Stadium and Brabourne Stadium. The final of the mega tournament will be played on March 26.

The WTL auction was held during the recently concluded Women's 20-20 World Cup and all five franchises did not hesitate to break their bank to buy their favorite players from around the world. Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur will lead Mumbai and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana will lead Bangalore's women's team. Australia's World Cup-winning captain Meg Lanning will lead the Delhi franchise, while Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy will lead Gujarat and UP respectively in the 2023 WTL.

This is how Twitter reacted to the sell-out of tickets for the Mumbai-Bangalore match:
