As the cricketing world turns its attention to the Indian subcontinent, the stage is set for a month-long celebration of women's cricket at its finest. Beginning tomorrow, September 30, eight nations will embark on a journey that has been decades in the making, a quest for the most prestigious trophy in women's cricket. With India and Sri Lanka co-hosting, the 2025 edition promises to break new ground in terms of spectacle, financial rewards, and global reach.
This isn't just another cricket tournament. With prize money that surpasses even the men's World Cup and accessibility measures designed to pack stadiums, the ICC has made clear its ambition: to elevate women's cricket from a niche interest to mainstream entertainment. As teams complete their final preparations, let's explore everything that makes this tournament special.
Format of ICC Women's World Cup 2025
All eight teams will face each other once in a round-robin league, totaling seven matches per side. There's no hiding, no easy path, and no second chances if you underperform. Every game matters equally, whether you're facing the defending champions or the underdogs looking to upset the established order.
Once the group stage concludes after 28 matches, mathematics will determine the semi-final pairings. First place meets fourth, second takes on third. The two winners advance to the November 2 final. Simple, fair, and guaranteed to produce drama right until the final league matches when teams jockey for advantageous playoff positions.
Venues of ICC Women's World Cup 2025

Indore's Holkar Stadium, nestled in central India, promises batting-friendly surfaces. Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Stadium on the east coast brings coastal weather into play, while Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium represents the western maritime influence.
Across the waters in Sri Lanka, Colombo's Premadasa Stadium stands ready to host matches with its characteristic subcontinental flavor. Both Premadasa and DY Patil are in contention for the ultimate privilege, hosting the November 2 final.
