WIPL should have been started one decade back and I am glad that finally it will get started in 2023. Ideally, the franchises should be based from the major metros of India - Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bangalore. And it is good that they are going for the e-auction. It is more transparent, when compared to the closed bid method. BTW, things are going a bit too slow. The first edition of the WIPL is supposed to start within a few months from now, and not even the franchises are being finalized till now. 
Slowly and steadily they will win this race because this slow style is culture of the subcontinent they never love to give their best for the projects which are helpful for the common peoples and have hope of good future I personally have experience of many things like these when we need to do some quick work then we have to face many on and off the field issues but at the end good thing now we are near this historic event which will bring big change for the game of cricket and surely revolutionary change in women's cricket in India.

If already established franchise will take teams then surely this will give some good help for both parties, and we will be able to have first seasoned quickly without any big hassle.

kro55 and I didn't mean to imply that our girls have no support at all.

I guess yesterday BCCI made some changes in their rules regarding base price, now i suppose it's not fixed at 400cr, it could be less. There are not much details but they are not doing e-auction. We should get more info in next few days. Yeah i agree sponsors are lined up so this shouldn't be a problem, i hope the existing franchise (especially MI, CSK, RCB) gets the teams.

Yaar i guess you misread the post.

The last info i had yesterday was that they are not going with the e-auction for teams, for players they are considering a draft base system (it's already in the public record).

Not sure about the last decade but 2017-18 was a good time as Indian Women team did an excellent job reaching the finals

I believe everyone in BCCI, stakeholders, including fans are aware of this reality.

Yeah WNBA is kinda subsidized by NBA in general so that would be a challenge in WIPL too and the goal should be self sufficiency in the longer run, even if it faces some roadblocks for a year or two.   

My opinion is slightly different. IMO, there is enough fan support for the women's game in India, to make the WIPL profitable from the first year itself. We'll get to know the full picture once the auction for franchises is completed. There is a good chance that the final price may be much higher than what the BCCI has as the reserve. Already a lot of sponsors and advertisers are lining up for the first edition of the WIPL. And don't expect multi-million salaries that the players enjoy in the IPL. For the WIPL, salaries will be much lower.

Thailand women have lost some quick wickets, and they are at 98/6 after 15.3 overs. So far this has been a very disastrous tour for the Dutch women. They lost the ODI series 0-4, and so far they are trailing the T20 series by 1-2. Only one win for Netherlands in 7 matches so far, with the 8th match being played right now. Remember that Netherlands is a country with almost 200 years of cricketing history. On the other hand, Thailand is a relatively new team, which started playing international cricket very recently. 

At the moment Netherlands W need 45 more runs on 18 balls with 5 wickets remaining. It seems like Thailand will take away the T20 series 3-1. Naruemol chaiwai the thai captain was top scorer with 47 runs while all bowlers have contributed there part in taking wickets. Thailand Women team will soon be part of ICC main events not sure whether there men team can do so or not.

4th T20 Thailand Women vs Netherlands Women The match between these two teams has started. In the match Netherlands Women won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Thailand Women came to bat. They scored 55 runs in 7 overs. Thailand Women have lost 2 wickets so far and  8 more wickets are in their hands. If Thailand Women can play complete overs then they can score like 150 runs.
Thailand Women vs Netherlands Women's T20 game is underway. Thailand Women gave a target of 126 runs after losing 8 wickets. Netherlands Women was able to score 37 runs after losing 1 wicket. According to the ICC rankings, Thailand Woman is an experienced team from the Netherlands. Mens cricket in Netherlands has not yet been well established. Thailand is more likely to win in today's game. Although they have been playing cricket for a long time in this aspect they need more time in Woman cricket as well. As it is T20 match so any thing can happen.

BCCI has to realize that the women’s IPL is not going to generate as much money as the men’s IPL is doing right now. Because honestly, the women’s IPL is barely popular. Even the NBA which I believe is the most popular sport all around the world right now is not getting enough revenue generated when it comes to the WNBA. So this is honestly a big risk for quite a low reward.
I believe everyone in BCCI, stakeholders, including fans are aware of this reality.
Yeah WNBA is kinda subsidized by NBA in general so that would be a challenge in WIPL too and the goal should be self sufficiency in the longer run, even if it faces some roadblocks for a year or two.   

The current economic situation in the world does not seem to be very favorable at the moment. Therefore there are some problems that are going to be faced by the women's IPL. Hence, this might be one of the things that will be able to persuade BCCI to stop hosting women's IPL matches. However, that is only a worst-case scenario.

There is also the possibility of another situation occurring. In other words, they will be able to generate a substantial amount of revenue from the women's IPL and continue to operate the WIPL for a longer period of time.
Financial problems are a common occurrence when there is an economic recession all over the world. But Indian Cricket Board is a financially prosperous cricket board. I don't think that they will fail to launch women's IPL due to lack of funds. They will try their best to manage WIPL anyway. Many people may have confusion about a subject. That is, the change of president who was in place at the time of approval of WIPL may cast a negative attitude on its management. But I don't think it will have any effect. Because for a long time planning is being done to run this WIPL league.

The first T20 match between New Zealand women's team and Bangladesh women's team was played today in Christchurch. The series will consist of three T20 and three ODI matches. In the first match, New Zealand set a target of 165 for the loss of just 3 wickets. That's a good enough collection to win against a team like Bangladesh. And I was sure that New Zealand would win easily. But I don't expect the Bangladesh team to bat so badly. Bangladesh Women's team batted 14.5 overs. But their total collection is only 32 runs. The Bangladesh team was defeated by a margin of 132 runs. Bangladesh lost the first 5 batsmen by just 12 runs.

Not sure about the whole subcontinent but in India landscape is changing for sure. In the Indian context (it's also true for others too), I guess no one is expecting them to take over Men's cricket in any form but just being self-sufficient would be great.
BCCI is about to float tenders for 5 teams and the base price is 400cr INR. Let's see how WIPL goes and progresses in the next 3-5 years.
https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/bcci-sets-the-bar-base-price-for-womens-ipl-franchise-will-be-rs-400-crore-6497185.html
The base price seems to be a bit steep for me. I am not forgetting the fact that two franchises in the IPL recently got sold for ₹7,090 crores and ₹5,625 crores respectively. But here we are talking about women's cricket and at least during the initial phases the franchises may be in red. A better idea would have been to allow the existing IPL franchises to come up with their own women's team, without any license fee. Nowadays, the BCCI is hell bent upon making money from their franchise leagues and WIPL is no different for them in this regard.
When Men's IPL started in 2007-08, the base price was around 450 cr INR so after 14 years WIPL base price looks balanced.
But i understand why this amount looks big to some if we consider the fan base (obv). Yeah, I agree Ideally, existing franchises should've been given the first right to buy the teams as they are in a better place to subsidize (rev, infra, fan base) their Women's team in comparison to a new buyer but don't know what's BCCI thought process, maybe they are hoping for some inflated bids during an auction.

Inflation had a big impact on the increase of money of IPL. And people have to understand that the value of money in 2007-2008 is not the same as in 2022. But at the same time, I am not saying that the price has not increased. The price has certainly increased because as there are going to be more viewers, the awning will also be big and the revenue will also get bigger, and so does the net worth.

I beg to differ, the way i see it. Women's cricket in India will win big in this charade be it a big bidding war or even fetching a base price.

We saw how drastically Men's cricket improved in terms of the talent pool so i believe drastic improvement is going to happen in Indian Women's cricket in the next 4-5 years due to WIPL.

Yeah, these guys are fucking up with the selection process when it comes to Men's cricket but that's a different discussion.

Perhaps you are right. Back in 2008, Rajasthan Royals was sold to Emerging Media, for a sum of $67 million. And recently, the two new IPL franchises got auctioned for almost $1 billion each. That represents an increase of close to 15 times in around 15 years. The same may happen with women's cricket as well. But then, I am not expecting crazy appreciation similar to what we witnessed back in 2008-22 period. The base price is already high, and the market is more or less saturated. So it will take some more time for the franchises to break even.

In South Asia, cricket has become a prestige issue. The best example is what happened during the IPL team auctions. Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants attracted really crazy bids, which made no sense at all. Lucknow Super Giants were sold for a record bid of ₹7,090 crores, which makes it impossible for the franchise to break even. The same may happen during the WIPL auctions as well. Some of the bids may fetch crazy amounts. It is beneficial for the BCCI, but I am not sure about the overall impact on women's cricket in India.

Even within South Asia, there is a large variation in popularity of the women's game. Indian women's recent tour of England, as well as the women's Asia Cup attracted record audiences, while in countries such as Pakistan there is very little interest in women's cricket. And in SENA nations, franchise leagues such as W100 and WBBL generate revenues that are close to what the men's leagues generate. Women's cricket has evolved over the years and it's growth will continue to outpace that of the men's variety in the next few years. But I don't think that women will overtake men, in terms of revenue and popularity.
Even Ramiz Raja announces about WPSL, and they are working on this but most chances this could be the worst for them because in Pakistan things are no easy for the women's sport but good thing they are working on this and have positive development under Ramiz Raja which is good for the game and women's in this region here we can't compare this with India and SENA because difference is very big and financial problems are also surrounding Pakistan here I can say WIPL can generate better revenue and surely this could be good for the Indian women's game with strong economy and system is surely going to help them, and they can compete with SENA but for any other country in this region it's long term dream because life is not easy with default risk is also on head.
Although Ramiz Raja is planning WPSL and is working on that but what's more important than him is franchises who should show interest in women's cricket and their leagues as their support is extremely important to promote their cricket in pakistan.
Unfortunately the teams have to be supported by a strong franchise and we hope that happens in Pakistan that  will have a great positive impact on cricket worldwide.

Viewership numbers are low for women's cricket but the numbers posted by Hamza2424 look like a doomsday scenario in women's cricket.

But IMHO overall situation is not that bad, at least in SENA. Also, things are surely improving drastically in India as well and surprisingly BCCI taking the right steps in favor of Women's cricket, WIPL is about to become reality because of this.

Even within South Asia, there is a large variation in popularity of the women's game.
