The countdown for the thirteenth ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 has begun on 30th September and will conclude on 2nd November 2025.
England, who have been four-time winners in previous matches, are now eyeing their new fifth title.
The other contenders in the list include seven-time winner Australia, India, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Pakistan.
Legacy of Women’s World Cup
The Women's Cricket World Cup predates the men’s version by two years (1973) England. Hence, it is the oldest tournament known globally.
Even though T20 cricket remains in everyone’s attention, the one-day format seems as a true test of strategy and patience.
In this competitive arena, teams from eight nations would face off each other in round-robin format. The top four would qualify for the finals.
Who Gets What
Partaking in the Women’s World Cup Cricket is not merely a glory, but a golden competitive opportunity to grab the lucrative prize pool of USD 13.88 million.
The winners will receive USD 4.48 million, the runner-up will receive USD 2.24 million, and each player of the teams finishing in 7th and 8th position will receive USD 280,000.
Location & Time
Women's World Cup Cricket matches will be held in Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Indore, and Navi Mumbai in India, as well as in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The tournament's opening match will take place between India and Sri Lanka at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati on September 30, 2025.
The final match will conclude on the 2nd November at Navi Mumbai or Colombo. The location of the venue depends on whether Pakistan qualifies or not, since the team won’t be travelling to India, and the timing for all matches will be 3:00 pm.

Australia - England: Tough Competitors To Deal With
The women’s cricket World Cup match will have competitors from different nations, including India.
Among these are the two robust opponents to deal with. One is Australia, with a benchmark of 79 wins in 93 World Cup matches.
Being seven-time champions in 1978, 1982, 1988, 1997, 2005, 2013, and 2022, it will be tough to overcome them.
Another contender is England, with winning feats in 1973, 1993, 2009, and 2017.
