The third edition of the Women's Premier League is nearing its commencement, as the five participating franchises prepare to finalize their rosters during today's auction in anticipation of the upcoming season. The auction is expected to see limited activity, with only 19 players available for selection and most teams having minimal budget flexibility. However, there remains potential for significant transactions that could elevate some teams to contender status while enabling others to strengthen their lineups.

Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious in the tournament's second edition under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana, overcoming Delhi Capitals, who faced the disappointment of being runners-up for the second consecutive time under Meg Lanning's captaincy. This time, Delhi Capitals possess the smallest remaining budget but are just a few strategic acquisitions away from becoming a formidable force.

Conversely, Gujarat Giants have struggled in both previous seasons, finishing at the bottom of the standings, which has been a source of disappointment for the franchise. On a positive note, they have a budget of 4.40 crore available to invest in prominent players during the auction. With notable talents like Deandra Dottin and Sneh Rana available, the Giants aim to leverage this opportunity to revamp their squad and improve their standings.

Likewise, UP Warriorz are keen to surround 2024 player of the tournament winner Deepti Sharma with the right support, while Mumbai Indians seek to regain their winning form following a lacklustre second season after their triumph in the inaugural edition.

The auction in Bangalore is set to be a strategic and engaging event.
