The Kia Super League is back with a bang with its fourth edition. After the r𓆏ecently concluded Women’s Ashes, top cricketers from all over the world will be present in England for the super exciting tournament. The league, which has begun from August 6, is almost༺ a month-long affair with the final to be played on September 1.
Surrey Stars are the defending champions of the edition. There is a small change in the format in this year’s league. The team that ends up finishing first on the points table will make a direct entry into the final. On the other hand, the teams occupying the second and third spots wil๊l play against each other in the semi-final for a place in the final.
The league boasts of the participation of Indian Women’s Cricket stars like Harmanpreet Ka♐ur and Smriti Mandhana, playing for Lancashire Thunder Squad and Western Storm Squad respectively.
