The Women's Premier League's third auction was hosted on December 15, 2024 at Bengaluru. However, with only 19 slots to fill across all the five teams, it was bound to be a very small auction. A total of 120 players went under the hammer on Sunday, including 91 Indian players and 29 overseas players. Notably, most players in this auction were uncapped, as the Indian players’ list featured 82 uncapped players, while the overseas players’ list features eight. This made a total of 90 uncapped players out of 120 overall. With four out of the five participant teams having made the playoffs at least once in the first two years, most teams had a settled core and were looking for additional options to add depth. WPL 2025 Auction Round-Up and Highlights: Simran Shaikh Most Expensive Player at INR 1.9 Crore, Deandra Dottin Returns to Gujarat Giants; Check Sold and Unsold Players at Bidding Event in Bengaluru.

19 players were sold in the auction with Simran Shaikh from India getting the highest bid of a whopping INR 1.9 Crore. Carribean star Deandra Dottin was also reunited with Gujarat Giants as she was purchased for INR 1.7 Crore. But except for her, most overseas players got little to no interest from the auction room and the most money went to the Indian uncapped cricketers.
