The Women’s Japan Premier League is back for 2024, with even more cricket this year!

Our two teams, Eastern Waves and Western Eagles are facing off once again in a series of matches across six days (May 14th – May 19th). With five T10 matches providing the introduction before the three match T20 contest. 

Not only will our Japanese players be playing, but thanks to our partnerships with the Titans in South Africa and Sri Lanka Cricket, we are able to welcome two players from each of those nations while also welcoming two players each from our EAP rivals Indonesia and Vanuatu. Finally, we have two players from Australia returning for a second year, you’ll be able to see them all in action everyday and even get to meet a few players along the way. 

All our matches will be live-streamed on the Japan Cricket Association YouTube channel.

Come on down to the Sano International Cricket Ground (SICG) to watch the best of the best face off with each other to see who will be the champions for 2024.
