2018 Women's T20 Challenge

The 2018 Women's T20 Challenge was the inaugural edition of Women's T20 Challenge, a women's Twenty20 cricket match which took place on 22 May 2018 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. In an effort to popularise women's cricket, the BCCI had organised the match ahead of Qualifier 1 of 2018 IPL.[1] The exhibition match was also held by the BCCI as a rehearsal for a Women's IPL tournament, a target which would be accomplished in the future.[2] IPL Supernovas won the match by 3 wickets in a last over thriller.[3]
