A new chapter in women바카라s cricket history is set to unfold as India hosts the 2025 ICC Women바카라s ODI World Cup, starting September 30, with the opening match between India and Sri Lanka at Bengaluru바카라s iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
This is the first time since 2013 that India will host the women바카라s 50-over World Cup, and with eight of the world바카라s top teams in the fray, the stage is set for a spectacle of epic proportions.
The tournament kicks off with India vs Sri Lanka, but all eyes will be on the blockbuster India-Pakistan clash, scheduled for October 5 at Colombo바카라s R Premadasa Stadium바카라a neutral venue as part of a hybrid hosting agreement between BCCI and PCB. In fact, all of Pakistan바카라s matches will be held in Colombo.
Another marquee match is on October 22, when defending champions Australia face arch-rivals England at Holkar Stadium in Indore, a rematch of the 2022 final. With both teams known for their aggressive, modern-day cricket, this promises to be one of the tournament바카라s most intense battles.
The tournament follows a round-robin format, ensuring each team plays the other once. The top four teams will advance to the semi-finals, which are scheduled for October 29 and 30, followed by the grand finale on November 2.

The venue for Semi-final 1바카라either Guwahati or Colombo바카라depends on Pakistan바카라s qualification to maintain neutrality, while Semi-final 2 is fixed in Bengaluru. The final will also be hosted in Bengaluru or Colombo, depending on team progression.
Australia, the most successful team in Women바카라s World Cup history, begin their title defense on October 1 against trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand in Indore. Led by a strong core of veterans and rising stars, Australia will look to replicate their dominance from 2022.
India, on the other hand, are chasing their maiden World Cup title, having reached the final twice in the past (2005 and 2017). With the home crowd behind them and a blend of experienced heads and exciting youth, India바카라s campaign holds immense promise.
Matches will be hosted across five Indian cities바카라Bengaluru, Indore, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam (Vizag), and Colombo in Sri Lanka. These diverse venues are expected to showcase packed stands and lively atmospheres, enhancing the spectacle of women바카라s cricket.
ICC Chairman Jay Shah expressed confidence in the tournament바카라s scale and excitement: 바카라With the eight best teams descending on India, alongside incredible venues and what promises to be record-breaking crowds, we are all looking forward to an unforgettable tournament.바카라
