India will chase history at the ICC Women’s ODI Cricket World Cup 2025, which runs from September 30 to November 2 across India and Sri Lanka.
Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the side, with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain, as the Indian women’s cricket team begins its campaign against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on the opening day.
All matches of the Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 will be available to watch via live streaming and live telecast in India.
The 2025 Women’s World Cup is the 13th edition of the 50-over cricket tournament and features eight teams.
In the build-up, India, finalists in 2005 and 2017, defeated England 2-1 in a bilateral series before losing by the same margin to Australia. Warm-up results were mixed too – a defeat to England followed by a morale-boosting win over New Zealand.
All eight teams will play each other once in a round-robin format, with the India vs Pakistan cricket match set to take place on October 5.
The top four teams at the end of the group stage will advance to the semi-finals, with the table-toppers taking on the fourth-placed side, while the second and third-ranked teams will square off in the other last-four clash.
If Pakistan make it to the semi-final, their match will be held in Colombo on October 29. Guwahati will host the first semi-final if Pakistan fails to reach the semis.
Reigning champions Australia are the most successful team in the history of the Women’s World Cup with seven titles. England have won it on five occasions and New Zealand once.
