The tournament will kick-off on September 30 in Guwahati.
Only a few days ago, the Women’s World Cup 2025 prize money saw a massive 297% boost compared to the last edition in 2022. It looked like women’s cricket was finally receiving the attention and value it deserved.
An embarrassingly low price of INR 100 (approximately USD 1.14) has been announced to boost engagement in the women’s cricket fraternity, making the global event the most accessible and affordable in ICC’s history.
The board, on Thursday, released the low-priced tickets in an exclusive four-day pre-sale window. The tickets will be available via Google Pay on the official website of the Cricket World Cup (tickets.cricketworldcup.com) till September 8. Regular sales will begin on September 9. The cities hosting the prestigious ICC event are Navi Mumbai, Indore, Visakhapatnam, Guwahati, and Colombo.
The 13th edition of the women’s CWC will begin on September 30 in India and Sri Lanka. The hosts will lock horns in Guwahati for the tournament opener.
The other six teams competing in the tournament are the defending champions Australia, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
All matches involving Pakistan women, potentially including the Semi-final and final, will be played in Colombo due to border tensions with India. If Pakistan don’t reach the playoffs, the two deciders would be held in Navi Mumbai.
