The 2025 Womens Cricket World Cup will be held in India, with some matches taking place in Sri Lanka as well. It begins on September 30 and finishes with the championship match on November 2. In this tournament, we will see eight cricketing nations compete against each other. These nations are: India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. India has hosted four tournaments. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is making its debut as a host nation. The prize money has risen to $13.88 million, more than four times as much as in 2022, and every single event will have women serving as referees
The Australian Womenâ€s team is the defending champion and is the favorite because they have lost just four matches out of their last 31 ODI games since 2023. Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of Team India, is optimistic about facing strong opponents after losing only four out of her last 14 One Day Internationals. Sophie Devine, Megan Schutt, Alyssa Healy, Suzie Bates, and Harmanpreet Kaur are likely to play in their final World Cup.
The 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup is a 50-over tournament that will feature eight teams from all over the world: Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Each team plays the others once in a round-robin format. The top four teams from this round will advance to the semi-finals, where the first-place team faces the fourth-place team, and the second-place team plays the third-place team. The final is scheduled for 2 November and will be held in Colombo if Pakistan qualifies, or in Navi Mumbai if they do not. Matches are hosted across India and Sri Lanka, with Pakistan playing all its group games in Colombo.
The venues for the 2025 Womens Cricket World Cup are in India and Sri Lanka. In India, matches will be held at 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. In Sri Lanka, the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is hosting matches involving Pakistan and could host a semi-final or the final if Pakistan qualifies.
The Pakistan womenâ€s team is playing its World Cup matches in Sri Lanka even though India is the official host because of political tensions between the two countries. This allows both countries to play against each other safely, as they have not held a bilateral cricket series in 13 years and recently had a serious military conflict. Sri Lanka will serve as a neutral host for all the Pakistani matches to ensure all their matches can take place without any issues.
The 2025 Womens Cricket World Cup consists of eight teams: Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.
