Mumbai The venue of the Mumbai leg of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 has been changed. Now along with the league stage matches to be held in Mumbai, the eliminator and final will also be held at Wankhede Stadium. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced this on Sunday (November 15). Earlier, the Mumbai leg matches were to be played at the Brabourne Stadium of Cricket Club of India (CCI). However, there has been no change in the dates and matches of the program.
Matches will be held at Wankhede instead of Brabourne Stadium
According to BCCI, the change in the venue of the Mumbai leg has been made following the request of the International Cricket Council (ICC). CCI's Brabourne Stadium will host the first Women's Champions Trophy starting from February 14. In such a situation, there was not enough time between the conclusion of the WPL and the start of this multinational tournament for the pitches to be rebuilt and recovered.
For this reason, it was decided to shift all the 11 matches of the Mumbai leg from Brabourne Stadium to Wankhede Stadium. This change also includes the eliminator and final. Now the eliminator will be played on February 5 and the final on February 7 at Wankhede Stadium.
