WPL Navi Mumbai Matches on Jan. 14–16 Likely Behind Closed Doors Due to Election Security Gap

Police resources tied to the January 15 civic poll have constrained stadium security, prompting contingency plans that exclude fans.

Overview

  • Navi Mumbai police have informed the BCCI they cannot provide adequate security for the January 15 fixture because it coincides with the municipal election, according to multiple reports.
  • The WPL ticketing platform lists no tickets for the January 14–16 games, signaling the likelihood of closed-door matches even as an official BCCI confirmation is pending.
  • If restrictions hold, the affected fixtures are Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz on January 14, Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz on January 15, and Gujarat Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru on January 16.
  • Tickets remain available for the January 17 double-header at DY Patil Stadium, after which the tournament is scheduled to shift to Vadodara for the remainder of the season.
  • Navi Mumbai police have implemented traffic curbs around DY Patil Stadium for match days through January 17, reserving certain routes for players and officials.
