In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women’s franchise cricket tournament in March 2023. The tournament was named the Women’s Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month. The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with Delhi Capitals signing 18 players for their squad. At the inaugural tournament, Delhi Capitals qualified directly for the final after topping the group, winning six of their eight matches. However, they lost in the final to Mumbai Indians by seven wickets. They made it to their second consecutive final but lost to RCB in 2024.
