Just like the 2019 edition, Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium has been selected to host the expanded Women's T20 Challenge during the Playoffs and Final week in IPL 2020 this May.

Though the name of the newest team is yet to be revealed, a fourth side has been confirmed for the competition which will increase the number of league games to six, from three last year, to be followed by a final.

Started in 2018 as a one-off game between a Harmanpreet Kaur-led Supernovas and Smriti Mandhana-led Trailblazers, the competition saw expansion in 2019 and a third team, led by veteran Mithali Raj, entered the fray. Supernovas have been champions on both occasions, winning both contests off the last ball.

The fixtures and teams, including foreign players, are to be announced in due course.
