WPL betting, made for fans of the women's game.
WPL betting means backing outcomes in Women's Premier League matches: the match winner, powerplay runs, a player's score or the season champion. You can bet before the first ball or live on King Exchange, with the same ID you use for the IPL and all other cricket.

Markets explained
What can I bet on in the WPL?
You can bet on WPL match odds, the toss winner, powerplay runs, player runs, the top bowler and wickets, and the season winner. Match odds is the main one: back the team you think will win, or lay the one you think won't. A tie goes to a Super Over, which decides the market.
Match odds
Back the team you think will win, or lay the one you think won't. A tie goes to a Super Over, which decides the market.
Teams meet twice in the league stage. The first game is a useful guide to the second.
Toss winner
Pick which captain wins the coin toss. The market settles before the first ball.
It's close to a coin flip, so keep the stake small.
Powerplay runs
Bet over or under a runs line for the first six overs of an innings.
Check each opening pair's strike rate, not the team's overall record.
Player runs
Bet over or under a runs line for one batter, or pick the top batter for each side.
The top three batters face the most balls, so they're usually where the value is.
Top bowler and wickets
Back the leading wicket-taker for a side, or bet on a bowler's wickets line.
Spinners take a lot of middle-overs wickets on Indian pitches.
Season outrights
Bet on the champion, the Orange Cap for most runs or the Purple Cap for most wickets.
In a short season, squad depth matters as much as star names.
Reading odds
How do WPL odds work?
WPL prices are decimal, and your return is your stake times the price: ₹500 at 1.80 returns ₹900. You can also lay a team, betting that it won't win; lay ₹500 at 1.80 and your liability is ₹400. Live prices update after almost every ball and pause briefly after a wicket.
You can also lay a team, which means betting that it won't win. Lay ₹500 at 1.80 and your liability is ₹400. The bet slip shows that number before you confirm.
Live prices update after almost every ball. Markets pause briefly after a wicket or a review, then reopen at the new price.

Tournament format
How does the WPL format work?
Five teams play each other twice, and the season lasts about a month. Only the team that finishes first goes straight to the final, so first place is worth far more than second. Late in the league stage, prices often follow that race.
Stage 1
League stage
Every team plays the others twice
First place goes straight to the final. Second and third play the Eliminator. Fourth and fifth are out.
Stage 2
Eliminator
2nd vs 3rd
The winner goes to the final. The loser is out.
Stage 3
Final
1st vs Eliminator winner
Decides the WPL champion.
Before the first ball
What moves WPL odds?
Overseas players move WPL odds most, because the stars often bat in the top order, so check who's been picked. Check the toss, recent venue scores, the pitch report, the forecast and evening dew too. WPL totals run lower than IPL totals, so don't judge its runs lines by IPL numbers.
WPL totals usually run lower than IPL totals. Runs lines for powerplays, sessions and players are set lower to match, so don't judge a WPL line by IPL numbers.
Pre-match checklist
- Confirmed XIs and which overseas players are picked
- The toss result, and whether the captain chose to bat or bowl
- Recent scores at the venue and the pitch report
- Dew in evening games, which usually helps the team chasing
- The weather forecast
Side by side
How is the WPL different from the IPL?
The WPL is smaller and shorter: five teams instead of ten, about a month instead of two, and a simpler playoff. Totals tend to be lower, which changes where the value sits in runs markets, so match odds or top batter make the best first bets, rather than powerplay runs.
| Feature | WPL | IPL |
|---|---|---|
| Teams | 5 | 10 |
| League stage | Each team plays the others twice | 14 matches per team |
| Playoffs | 1st to the final; 2nd vs 3rd in the Eliminator | Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2, final |
| Typical totals | Lower | Higher |
| Season length | About a month | About two months |
| Best first market | Match odds or top batter | Match odds or powerplay runs |

Settlement
How are WPL bets settled?
Match odds follow the official result, including DLS results and Super Overs. If a match is abandoned with no result, match odds bets are void and stakes are returned. A session whose over is never bowled is void, and so are bets on a player who isn't in the playing XI.
Rain and DLS
If rain shortens the match and a result is declared, including under DLS, match odds settle on that result.
No result
If the match is abandoned or declared no result, match odds bets are void and stakes are returned.
Super Over
A Super Over decides match odds. Its runs and wickets don't count for session, fancy or player markets.
Overs not bowled
A session whose over is never bowled is void, unless its result was already decided.
Player not in the XI
Bets on a player who isn't in the playing XI are void.
Payouts
Winnings go to your balance once the result is official. Withdraw to a UPI ID or bank account in your own name.
