The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially announced the full schedule for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, set to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2. The 13th edition of the prestigious tournament will kick off with hosts India facing Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, while defending champions Australia begin their campaign against rivals New Zealand on October 1 in Indore. Matches will be held across five cities—Bengaluru, Vizag, Indore, Guwahati and Colombo.
The final will be played on November 2 in either Bengaluru or Colombo. Warm-up matches begin on September 24. The most anticipated match of any ICC event—that between India and Pakistan—will be played on October 5 in Colombo.
While six teams qualified for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 through the ICC Women’s Championship, Pakistan and Bangladesh earned their spots through the qualifier held earlier this year.
ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Format
The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played in a round-robin cum knockout format. During the round-robin stage, all eight participating teams will play one match against each of the seven other teams. The four teams finishing at the top of the points table after this stage will book their place in the semi-finals. The winners of the two semi-finals will then play against each other for the winner’s trophy in the final.
