The third edition of the Women’s Uttarakhand Premier League (WUPL) 2026 is underway from 21 to 24 September, bringing together four franchises, Dehradun Warriors (led by Sweta Verma), Mussoorie Queens (led by Nandini Kashyap), Bageshwar Aerial (led by Prema Rawat), and Pithoragarh Hurricanes (led by Raghavi Bisht), in a compact, high-stakes T20 contest. The tournament opener on 21 September saw Dehradun Warriors dominate Pithoragarh Hurricanes by seven wickets, while Mussoorie Queens posted a commanding nine-wicket DLS victory over Bageshwar Aerial in the day’s second fixture.
Momentum shifted slightly on 22 September as Bageshwar Aerial edged Pithoragarh Hurricanes by three wickets in a tighter contest, underlining the competitive balance emerging across the squads. With each side now having tasted action, the narrative is set for intense battles as teams jostle for position in a format where every result can reshape the standings.
Beyond the scoreboard, WUPL 2026 continues to serve as a vital platform for women’s cricket in Uttarakhand, spotlighting local talent and leadership under the captaincy of Verma, Kashyap, Rawat, and Bisht. As the tournament progresses toward its climax, all eyes will be on how these skippers marshal their resources, adapt to conditions, and inspire their sides in pursuit of the title.
