The Mumbai Indians are an Indian professional franchise women's cricket team that compete in the Women's Premier League (WPL), based in Mumbai. The team is owned by Indiawin Sports, who also owns the men's team, winning the rights to own and operate the Mumbai-based franchise for a sum of ₹912.99 crore (US$110 million). The team is coached by Charlotte Edwards and captained by Harmanpreet Kaur. The side won the inaugural edition of the WPL, beating Delhi Capitals in the final.

History

In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023. The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month. Indiawin Sports, the owners of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, bought the rights to one of the franchises.

In February 2023, Charlotte Edwards was announced as head coach of the side, with Jhulan Goswami named as their bowling coach and mentor and Devika Palshikar as the batting coach. The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with Mumbai Indians signing 18 players for their squad.

The side went on to win the inaugural edition of the WPL, finishing second in the initial group stage before beating UP Warriorz in the eliminator and Delhi Capitals in the final. Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hayley Matthews was named Player of the Tournament.
