The 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup starts on September 30 with India vs Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. 8 teams will play in a round-robin format and top 4 will make it to the semis. The final is on November 2.
Australia starts their campaign against New Zealand on October 1 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. Pakistan will play all their matches in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This is because of the recent tensions between India and Pakistan. So teams that are supposed to play Pakistan, including India, will head to Colombo which is a neutral ground.
One of the most anticipated matches will be on October 5 when India plays Pakistan in Colombo. Given the history and politics between the two teams, this match will be a big draw.
The Tournament will be held in 5 cities across India and Sri Lanka:
India: Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore, Visakhapatnam
Sri Lanka: Colombo
Each city will have group stage matches and both Bengaluru and Colombo are possible venues for the final. Group matches will finish on October 26 with a double header. On that day England will play New Zealand in Guwahati and India will play Bangladesh in Bengaluru.
Semifinal 1 will be on October 29 in Guwahati or Colombo if Pakistan qualifies and Semifinal 2 will be on October 30 in Bengaluru. Final will be on November 2 in Bengaluru or Colombo.
Here’s the formatted and cleaned-up schedule you provided for quick reference, with a correction for Sunday, October 26, which had two matches scheduled — usually not common unless it’s a double-header (which should be clarified).
