The inaugural game will have a rescheduled start and will commence at 08.00 PM IST today, instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM IST start.
Several female cricketers experienced the biggest payday of their career in last month's players auction where teams had $1.45 million each to spend on acquiring players.
The sale of WPL's five franchises and media rights alone fetched nearly $690 million and the Indian cricket board has lined up an impressive array of sponsors for the 22-match tournament.
