The hosts India and Sri Lanka will set the ball rolling.
The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 is all set to kick off on September 30. The opening clash between the hosts, India and Sri Lanka, will take place in Guwahati. Apart from the hosts, six other nations will be competing in the marquee ODI event. They are the defending champions Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
The 50-over tournament will be played in a round-robin format. Meaning, each side will play the other team once in the group stage. After 28 fixtures, the top four teams on the points table will advance to semi-finals on October 29 and 30. Then, the winners will face off in the Final on November 2.
Notably, the ICC has set a record-breaking prize pool for the 13th edition of the Women’s World Cup. The upcoming WWC winners will earn a prize money of a whopping USD 4.48 million. It was only USD 1.32 million in the last edition. In 2022, Australia defeated England to secure their seventh ODI World Cup title.
