Third edition of WPL set to get underway on Friday

This historic city in western India was the venue for a women’s ODI series when an Australian side came thirsting for revenge. One recalls the full house that came to watch Mithali Raj’s women in blue taking on Meg Lanning’s mighty Australia. They are all here for one of the world’s fastest growing leagues — the Women’s Premier League, the third edition of which kicks off on Friday. The BCA Stadium, where India had hosted the West Indies in a women’s ODI series a couple of months ago, is one of those excellent modern cricket grounds in India.
