The Cricket Board of India is doing everything possible for the safe conduct of the Women’s T20 League beginning on March 4. Bollywood actresses Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani are ready to awe spectators worldwide during the opening ceremony of the much-anticipated franchise league. AP Dhillon, a well-known singer, will also perform the Women’s T20 League anthem at the same event.
The Women’s T20 League 2023 opening ceremony is anticipated to occur before the season opener. On March 4 at 7:30 PM IST, Gujarat and Mumbai will play in the inaugural game of the Women’s T20 League. So, it is anticipated that the opening ceremony will begin in the evening, a few hours before the scheduled time of the game. The tournament will be played at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium and Brabourne Stadium.
Five franchises will battle it out in the inaugural Women’s T20 League
At the first Women’s T20 League players’ auction, five franchises – Delhi, Gujarat, Mumbai, Bangalore, and UP—spent a lot of money to sign some of the best women cricketers on the domestic and international stages. Smriti Mandhana of India was sold to Bangalore for an incredible INR 3.40 crore, the highest amount paid for any player in the auction.
