The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday announced a revised schedule for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, confirming a significant change in host venues, 24NewsHD TV reported on Friday.
Bengaluru’s iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has been dropped from the list of venues due to unavailability, with the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai stepping in as its replacement and will now stage up to five fixtures, including three league matches, a semifinal, and potentially the final.
Despite the venue change, the overall schedule of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 remains intact, with matches running from September 30 to November 2 across five cities.
The confirmed venues now include Navi Mumbai, Guwahati, Indore, Visakhapatnam, and Colombo (Sri Lanka).
According to the ICC, the first semifinal will take place on October 29 in either Guwahati or Colombo, while the second semifinal is set for October 30 in Navi Mumbai.
The final, scheduled for November 2, will be staged in Navi Mumbai or Colombo.
The tournament will feature eight teams playing in a round-robin format, with the top four sides progressing to the knockouts.
Warm-up matches begin on September 24, with India facing England in Bengaluru before meeting South Africa in Guwahati.
This will be the 13th edition of the Women’s Cricket World Cup, first staged in 1973.
Australia, the defending champions and seven-time winners, secured direct qualification alongside England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and hosts India. Pakistan and Bangladesh completed the lineup via the April qualifiers.
