Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 Hosts, Venues Set

The 2025 ICC Women's ODI World Cup will run from September 30 to November 2, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Eight teams—India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh—will compete in a single round-robin format, with the top four advancing to the semifinals. Due to political tensions, Pakistan will play all its matches in Colombo, and the India vs Pakistan match is scheduled for October 5 at the R Premadasa Stadium under a hybrid hosting model. Matches in India will be held in Bengaluru, Indore, Guwahati, and Visakhapatnam. The final will take place in either Colombo or Bengaluru, depending on whether Pakistan qualifies. Australia, the defending champions, begin their campaign against New Zealand on October 1 in Indore, while India opens against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru.
