Background
The prize money for the season was ₹10 crore (US$1.3 million).[6] Tickets for matches were free to women during the first season.[7] The opening ceremony took place on 4 March at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with AP Dhillon, Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani performing.[8]
Starting this season, both teams could use the Decision Review System to challenge no-ball and wide ball calls. The rule was implemented in the 2023 IPL season.[9]
Venues
Matches were played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with the latter hosting the final. Attendances were between 9,000-13,000 on average, with some matches reaching 30,000 and the final was a sellout.[10]
