Before the second Women’s Premier League (WPL) edition, all five franchises had a chance to rebuild their teams in the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/wpl-auction/" title=" 2024 WPL auction " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2024 WPL auction </a>held in Mumbai. At the important event, some franchises grabbed this opportunity with both hands and stole the show eventually with their stellar purchases.&nbsp;

Talking about players, Annabel Sutherland and Kashvee Gautam became the talk of the town after receiving a lucrative contract of INR 2 crore from Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Giants (GG) respectively. After witnessing the blockbuster action at the business event, let’s rate the squads of all five franchises.

Here are the ratings of all five teams based on their final squads

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/upw-squad-2024-player-list-complete-up-warriorz-upw-squad-and-players-list-for-wpl-2024/" title="UP Warriorz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UP Warriorz</a> (UPW) already had experienced players such as captain Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Ecclestone, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad in their squad, and in the auction, they added another veteran player Danni Wyatt to their team. The England stalwart was fetched for INR 30 lakh by the franchise.

Wyatt has the potential to deliver scintillating numbers to the team with her sensational batting skills. The franchise also bought India’s uncapped all-rounder Poonam Khemnar, who plays domestic cricket for Nagaland Women. UP have also invested a heavy sum of &nbsp;INR 1.3 crore in Vrinda Dinesh, who has proven her skills while playing for Karnataka Women in the domestic circuit.

Veterans such as Tahlia McGrath, and Grace Harris have looked stunning in the 2023-24 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) and they might rock the tournament for UP in the 2024 WPL. Sophie Ecclestone will look to be impactful again in 2024 and she will need Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s assistance to bolster the team’s spin-bowling unit. England’s Lauren Bell and the left-handed bowler Anjali Sarvani can form a pace-bowling duo and trouble the opponents.

Following their dismal performance in the maiden WPL season, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/gg-squad-2024-player-list-complete-gujarat-giants-gg-squad-and-players-list-for-wpl-2024/" title="Gujarat Giants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gujarat Giants</a> (GG) got rid of non-performing players before the auction. The franchise retained only eight players which included big names such as Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Laura Wolvaardt, Shabnam Shakil, Harleen Deol, and Sneh Rana.

The Gujarat-based outlet signed some recent performers Phoebe Litchfield, Lauren Cheatle, and Kathryn Bryce in the auction. GG have also shown faith in India’s domestic players Kashvee Gautam, Trisha Poojitha, and Meghna Singh. Gautam’s services were reserved for a hefty amount of INR 2 crore.&nbsp;

With the blend of experienced international players and young domestic names, GG’s endeavours will be to clinch the distinguished trophy. Captain Beth Mooney’s return will also boost the team’s confidence in the tournament.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/dc-squad-2024-player-list-complete-indian-capitals-dc-squad-and-players-list-for-wpl-2024/" title="Delhi Capitals " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delhi Capitals </a>(DC) spent 2.20 crore in the auction and picked up three players. The 2023 runners-up splurged INR 2 crore to get the Australia all-rounder Annabel Sutherland. The Aussie looked stellar with both the bat and ball for Melbourne Stars in WBBL and grabbed DC’s attention.&nbsp;

Sutherland emerged as the most expensive buy at the event, along with GG’s Kashvee Gautam. DC also roped in the wicketkeeper batter Aparna Mondal for INR 10 lakh. In the marquee tournament, DC will heavily bank on their star players Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Marizanne Kapp to extract effective results.&nbsp;

In-form Annabel Sutherland’s addition will also help the side as the 22-year-old will not only add more strength to the batting unit but also bolster the side’s pace attack. Jess Jonassen and Radha Yadav will carry the responsibility to reinforce the spin department.

South Africa’s veteran pacer Shabnim Ismail became a part of MI for INR 1.2 crore. The 35-year-old will join Issy Wong, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Saika Ishaque to serve MI’s pace attack efficiently in the competition.

Along with Ismail, Mumbai bought uncapped Indian players Keerthana Balakrishnan, Amandeep Kaur, S Sajana, and Fatima Jaffer. In the upcoming tournament, MI will be seen defending the title under Harmanpreet Kaur and the team management will expect their premier stalwarts to step up and play attacking cricket.&nbsp;

Key batters Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia, Brunt, and Harmanpreet Kaur played their part exceptionally in the previous WPL edition and they will look to continue their brilliant work again. Along with the bat, Matthews’ endeavours will be to make a vital contribution to the side with her spin-bowling. With Amelia Kerr, she will be expected to form a pair and make batters’ jobs difficult for the consecutive second season.

Fans who support Challengers are hoping the team to put up a great fight under Smriti Mandhana in 2024 and clinch the silverware. &nbsp;

In the 2024 auction, Challengers fetched some in-form players and are the strongest side on paper. Renowned names such as Mandhana, Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, and Heather Knight are already a significant part of this franchise, and now, pacers Georgia Wareham and Kate Cross will also join the team in 2024.

Cross will assist Perry and Renuka Singh in consolidating the team’s fast-bowling unit while Wareham’s duty will be to spearhead the spin attack. When it comes to batting, the side has star players like Mandhana, Devine, Richa Ghosh, Perry, and Knight who have the capability to play match-winning knocks.
