The teams participating in WDPL 2025 are:
North Delhi Strikers, East Delhi Riders, Central Delhi Queens, and South Delhi Superstarz. Each team will face the others twice, with the top two advancing directly to the final. No playoff games are scheduled.
The Central Delhi Queens have assembled a formidable squad, with key players like Aujasvie, Deeksha Sharma, and Monika. The East Delhi Riders have retained Priya Punia and added promising talents like Purva Siwach. The North Delhi Strikers have backed their captain, Upasana Yadav, and brought back Nazma. The South Delhi Superstarz have retained Shweta Sehrawat and added Tanisha Singh and Ekta Badhana.
During the auction, the Central Delhi Queens focused on experience, securing Monika for ₹10 lakh and using their Right to Match (RTM) card to bring back Parunika Sisodia. The South Delhi Superstarz made strategic choices, retaining Shweta Sehrawat and adding young talents. The North Delhi Strikers retained their captain Upasana Yadav and secured Nazma after a fierce bidding war. The East Delhi Riders built a balanced squad by retaining Priya Punia and adding Pragya Rawat.
Last year’s final was a nail-biter, with the North Delhi Strikers emerging victorious by just 10 runs. Upasana Yadav’s century and Nazma’s final-over heroics were the highlights of that match. This year, the stage is set for another thrilling season.
