In an effort to popularize women’s cricket, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had hosted Women’s IPL in 2019, featuring three teams who each played the other teams in a round-robin format.

IPL Supernovas and IPL Velocity played the final last year and the Supernovas defended their title, having won the exhibition women’s T20 match in 2018 as well.
