The Women’s T20 Challenge will be held from May 23, 2022 — here’s the complete list of fixtures and match schedule for the competition that will be hosted in Pune, alongside the IPL.

The Women’s T20 Challenge returns after two years and will be played in Pune, Maharashtra. The event was cancelled in 2021 due to Covid-19, with the last edition being held in 2020. Three teams will be in contention for the title, with a total of four matches being held.

Each side will play the other once, with the top two sides from the league stage qualifying for the final that will be held on May 28, a day before the finals of the Indian Premier League.

The Women’s T20 Challenge was first held in 2018, and was a two-team affair, with one exhibition game scheduled. The following two years saw the introduction of another team, and a similar format will be followed in 2022 as well. This could be the last season of the Women’s T20 Challenge, with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly hinting that a full-fledged women’s IPL will be held in 2023.

Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Deepti Sharma will lead the three teams, respectively. As many as 12 overseas players have signed up for the competition that will be played over six days at the MCA Stadium. Cricketers such as Alana King, Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, Sophie Ecclestone and Sune Luus are some international stars in action, along with Indians such as Jemimah Rodrigues. Poonam Yadav, Shafali Verma, and Richa Ghosh.

The selectors have not selected Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami and Shikha Pandey in any of the three squads.
