Adding to the excitement, Lucknow will make its debut as a WPL venue this season, with UPW playing three matches at their home ground from 3rd March.

The final leg of the tournament will unfold in Mumbai, with the iconic Cricket Club of India (CCI) hosting the last two league matches and the two high-stakes Playoff games. The formidable Mumbai Indians will conclude the league stage with back-to-back home games against GG and RCB on the 10th and 11th March respectively.

The battle for supremacy will reach its peak in the playoffs, with the table-toppers earning a direct berth in the final.
