The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 kicks off on September 30 and is set to be a big deal for women's cricket, with eight of the best teams playing in India and Sri Lanka. Co-hosted by both countries, the tournament will have 28 group-stage matches, plus semi-finals and a final on November 2. This event is a great way to showcase the rise of women's cricket, bringing together intense rivalries, new talents, and defending champions for a month of exciting matches.
In the round-robin stage, every team will play seven matches, going up against each team once. The top four teams will move on to the semi-finals, and then the winners will face off in the final for the trophy. Games will take place at five venues: Bengaluru, Indore, Visakhapatnam, and Guwahati in India, as well as Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium in Sri Lanka. Most of the matches will be in the evening at 7:30 PM local time, so fans can catch them after work.
India vs Pakistan (October 5, Colombo): This is always an exciting match-up between two fierce rivals, sure to get fans fired up in Sri Lanka.
Australia vs New Zealand (October 1, Indore): The rivalry kicks off as these two Australia neighbors face off to start their campaigns.
India vs Australia (October 12, Visakhapatnam): A chance for India to take on the six-time champs again, following their recent ICC finals face-off.
England vs Australia (October 22, Indore): Another match between these teams, reminiscent of the 2022 World Cup final, keeps the rivalry alive.
India vs England (October 19, Indore): Expect a battle of wits as these two strategic sides go head-to-head.
The semi-finals are set for October 29 (venue to be confirmed) and October 30 (in Bengaluru), with the final happening on November 2 (venue still to be decided). There's been a lot of chatter about the final location since it's not confirmed yet, but Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium and Colombo's RPS are top picks.
