New Delhi:
The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 is set to kickstart with host India taking on Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on September 30.
The tournament will be played in a hybrid manner, with Pakistan’s games being played in Colombo.
During the impasse around the Champions Trophy and India’s reluctance to travel to Pakistan, a compromise was arrived at for all parties to agree upon the hybrid hosting model of the event. India alone played its matches in Dubai while the rest of the tournament went on as scheduled in Lahore and Karachi.
ICC said then in a release: India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue.
Political tensions between the two countries have prevented bilateral cricket outside major tournaments since 2008, with India last visiting Pakistan 16 years ago. However, Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
The top four sides from the round-robin stage in this tournament will progress to the semifinals with first place playing fourth and second taking on third.
Here is a look at the full list of matches India will play in the tournament:
Tuesday, September 30—India vs Sri Lanka—Bengaluru—3pm
Sunday, October 5—India vs Pakistan—Colombo—3pm
Thursday, October 9—India vs South Africa—Vizag—3pm
Sunday, October 19—India vs England—Indore—3pm
Thursday, October 23—India vs New Zealand—Guwahati—3pm
Sunday, October 26—India vs Bangladesh—Bengaluru—3pm
