Women’s cricket takes centre stage this week as eight nations gear up for the ICC Womens World Cup 2025, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The tournament begins on Tuesday with India facing Sri Lanka in Guwahati and will culminate in the final on November 2.
Australia enter as defending champions and record seven-time ODI winners, but in-form India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, are strong favourites to claim a first World Cup trophy on home soil. Key players to watch include India’s Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma, Australia’s Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt, and Sri Lanka’s Chamari Athapaththu.
The tournament features a round-robin stage from September 30 to October 26, with the top four sides advancing to semifinals on October 29 and 30.
ICC Womens World Cup 2025 Venues
While India hosts the bulk of matches, games involving Pakistan are being played in Colombo under an ICC-brokered neutral-venue agreement, reflecting the ongoing absence of bilateral cricket between the neighbours. India and Pakistan are set to clash on October 5 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, adding extra intrigue to the event.
Other venues include Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Holkar Stadium in Indore, and Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Semifinal venues may shift to Colombo should Pakistan reach the last four, while Navi Mumbai will host India’s semifinal if they advance.
